Only after Nancy Pelosi (at age 85) places her usual conveniently timed, market-beating call options. All the quants in NYC can’t hold a candle to her investing acumen when it comes to cutting-edge tech stocks.

MITRE has a trademark on the term CVE.

As if laws have any meaning to this administration, and anyone expecting this will only last four years instead of turning into one of those countries so much admired by the captain at the helm, is fooling themselves.

When the citizens realise this, the structures to clamp down any revolution will be in place.

TBF trade-marking a term like "CVE" is the most ridiculous fucking thing and just reeks of modern American copyright law type stuff.

It's only superficially ridiculous.

"CVE" is trademarked and emphasized (e.g. included in the shorthand notations, e.g. CVE-2014-0160), explicitly to prevent other groups from using "CVE" in a way that causes confusion in the marketplace. And yes, this is the same reason trademarks exist for commercial purposes.

But imagine if Microsoft could issue CVEs against Apple ... or OpenAI against Anthropic, etc.

The label "CVE" has to have a known authority to be useful. And the only way to ensure that is to trademark it. See also: "Linux™".

People will not submit vulns as happily to such business.

Most of vulns will go unaddressed because company like palantir will most likely want only really good vulns like 0-click RCE.

Putin, Xi, and Un say thank you.
