> Bluesky recently acquired the rights to the trademark for “ATPROTOCOL” and its variants—including “AT Protocol” and “atproto”—from another company that was threatening to take legal action preventing the company and others from using the term. Now that Bluesky owns it, the atproto community’s continued use of the mark can be protected.

The policy around usage is shared in the rest of the post but the goal is to make this very simple for everyone

Government bodies can work for us at the point we collectively decide it’s a priority.

So what about the existing AT protocol modems use?

		That's the Hayes command set[1]. Hayes was a registered trademark up until 2022[2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_AT_command_set [2] https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/73319703

		They use AT command set, not protocol.

		I don't remember ever hearing that called AT proto or AT protocol, just AT commands or AT commandset etc. Even though I'm that old, even I don't care even if it was anyway. ...as long as the reason is what it looks like. Rather have Bluesky claim it for the purpose of having the officially recognized legal authority to grant usage to everyone else, than have a rando douche company think they can claim it to extort or simply inhibit everyone else.
