Sign Bitcoin is not the property of Satoshi

In a letter to the owner of the trademark crypto-currencies have been warned about the inadmissibility of sales of t-shirts with the emblem of Bitcoin without his consent. All existing products with the trade mark, he demanded to send him, otherwise the right to use the name of the crypt will be challenged in court.

Recall, the platform enables you to sell and buy items with creative content from different people. The entrepreneur, whose t-shirts were "outside the law", still shocked by the sudden turn of events.

At First I thought it was some kind of joke, because Bitcoin is public, not someone's private property. Even attempts to usurp the cryptocurrency until then had a complete failure.

Turned out the company A. B. C. IPHoldings South West LLC still owns the trademark "". Documents confirming the fact of possession, was approved by authorities last month. The contacts are unknown, even the owner of t-shirts with Bitcoin couldn't connect with the now legal owner of the trademark.
