April 26, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE
The world-renowned manufacturer of sportswear and footwear Nike registers the Cryptokicks trademark in the United States as part of the provision of “a wide range of services related to the blockchain.”
Nike has applied to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to use the Cryptokicks trademark, which is described as “ the mark may be used for goods and services including — cryptocurrency software and hardware wallets, crypto-collectibles and art, utility tokens, and software for managing networked IoT devices.”
The company’s application also mentions an electronic trading platform that Nike plans to use to distribute shoes and clothing and the creation of a site for participants in a company’s program with a separate forum.
We are talking about “Downloadable computer software, namely, an electronic financial platform that accommodates multiple types of payment and debt transactions in an integrated mobile phone.”
Nike is not the first company intending to register intellectual property associated with cryptocurrency and blockchain. Previously, patent applications for development in the field of blockchain and cryptocurrency filed Amazon, Mastercard, and Xerox.
