Well, if you don't protect your trademark?

It was how most people at M$ were referring to them last week.

edit: OMG, I thought it would be obvious I'm kidding. I guess garbage HN comments win garbage HN prizes.

Maybe there will be a supreme court ruling that George Kurtz has to wear a clown nose due to the Krusty precedent?

There's "protecting your trademark from genuine copyright infringement" [nods], and "trying to silence legal parody via weak trademark arguments" [shakes head].

You mean "genuine trademark infringement".

Touché, thank you!
To be fair, they actually sent a copyright infringement notice for this alleged trademark infringement. You were just describing their behavior!
To be fair, a trademark logo is also copyright protected... It's art. If crowdstrike lost the trademark, they'd still own the copyright on that logo.
