The Pirate Bay Logo Hijacked
Oh the irony! Someone legally hijacked The Pirate Bay’s logo (it was unregistered) and, as you can imagine, TPB cried foul. After The Pirate Bay got their panties in a knot, the company that registered the logo decided to be nice and turn the logo over after TPB agreed to concessions. Now that is funny.
After discovering the Pirate Bay logo hadn’t been registered with the patent office, a Swedish company took the opportunity to claim it as their own in order to commercially exploit it. After bloodless negotiations, the company now seems prepared to play nice and let their application slide. But they don’t go away empty-handed.
