In Battle Over The Tweet Trademark, Twitter Sues Twittad

tweetyYou may remember that back in July 2009, Twitter made a big stink about developers using the term 'tweet' in their Twitter apps. Oddly enough, while Twitter has long been trying to register the 'tweet' trademark in the United States, it has so far failed despite its efforts mainly because one or more third-party developer(s) actually beat them to the punch in - successfully - filing for trademarks including the word 'tweets'.Now, Twitter has moved to sue one of those developers, online advertising service provider Twittad (see launch coverage), in an attempt to cancel the latter's registration of the "Let Your Ad Meet Tweets" trademark.
