Apple and windows are trademarks for software. You would be unable to get the trademark "Apple" for a company selling fruit, or "windows" for a window fitter, and neither could Apple or Microsoft. π is a pre-existing symbol used by, and part of a standard character set for, software. You could probably get a trademark on it for a company selling apples, but I highly doubt you could for a software company.
> π is a pre-existing symbol used by "used by" is pretty debatable. Its a fairly obscure character. I don't think being in unicode by itself is sufficient enough to count.

When it comes to logos, I'm all in favor of laziness. People get way too hung up on something that unimportant.
In most instances it's unimportant, until there's a legal requirement for it to be unique and trademarked. What's to stop me mass-producing merchandise with that symbol on it right now?

> Few would argue that it works better now than before Maybe in the social circles you stick to, but there are plenty of /other/ people (i.e. more than a "few") that are quite happy that the 80% of employees doing their jobs were let go. [1] https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598822959866683394
'Matt Taibbi, a journalist who worked on the βTwitter Filesβ series of articles about old business decisions at Twitter, has said heβll no longer use the social media platform. Taibbi is apparently frustrated by Twitterβs recent decision to heavily restrict all links and tweets about Substack following that companyβs announcement it would be launching Substack Notes, a short form social network and potential competitor to Twitter. Any Twitter user who even tries to retweet a post from Substack is met with a notification, βsome actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter,β a move that has angered many users, including Taibbi.

So Elon can copy write this?
No, seriously, does he think no one notices that the new X logo still hides the same old Twitter crap?
