Crypto Trademark Application is on The Increase

More than two years ago, Visa filed a patent application to turn physical fiat currency into a digitized format. Technology advancement and innovations are at the core of the payment card issuer. One Visa spokesperson stated, “At Visa, we are continually exploring technologies that might lead to new payment innovations and greater financial inclusion.”

“each year we seek patents for hundreds of new ideas. While not all patents will result in new products or features, Visa respects intellectual property and we are actively working to protect our ecosystem, our innovations, and the Visa brand,” the spokesperson added.

Mastercard submitted a similar trademark application for Metaverse and NFTs to USPTO in April. PayPal and Western Union also submitted three trademark applications each for a wide range of digital assets. PayPal’s trademark applications are also for the payment overlapping P’s logo.

An excerpt from Paypal’s application outlined “Downloadable software for sending, receiving, accepting, buying, selling, storing, transmitting, trading and exchanging digital currency, virtual currency, cryptocurrency, stablecoins, digital and blockchain assets, digitized assets, digital tokens, crypto tokens, and utility tokens.”
