No doubt. It clearly seems that I'm not communicating well enough. But just to be clear: is not in Wasmer intent to own the Wasm trademarks (as stated in the Github issue).

And to answer your question: yes, I deleted the comment because I thought it was going to start a non-productive discussion (it had 1 point at the moment of deletion). Then I realized deleting could provoke some other issues, and decided to repost again.

Yeah, I know there is a spectrum of people that downvote my comments... and it's ok!

Then why register?

"Our lawyers made us".

Lawyers can't make you do anything. They can advise. They can't act without your consent.

And expensive. I've dealt with the USPTO through professionals and the crackling sounds my burning savings made were quite loud.

We registered the trademarks as part of other process that we were not super diligent with.

We also course-corrected as soon as we realized of it, much before it came public a few weeks ago.

You accidentally attempted to register a trademark?

I have never heard of that. Either you are small enough that the non-trivial tediousness and cost of the process catches a lot of attention. Or you are large enough to have a general counsel overseeing a documented chain of approvals.
