\"Paypal<\/p>\n

Financial services companies Paypal and Western Union have each filed three new trademark applications covering a wide range of crypto services. Paypal\u2019s applications are also for the payments giant\u2019s logo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paypal\u2019s New Trademark Filings for Crypto Services<\/h2>\n

Paypal Inc. has filed three new trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Mike Kondoudis, a USPTO-licensed trademark attorney, tweeted<\/a> Monday:<\/p>\n

\n

Paypal has filed trademark applications for Paypal and its \u2018overlapping Ps\u2019 logo. The apps claim plans for exchanging, trading, and processing transfers of blockchain + digital assets, crypto + digital + virtual currencies \u2026 and more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Filed on Oct. 18, the applications\u2019 serial numbers are 97636933, 97636892, and 97636857.<\/p>\n

An excerpt from one of the trademark applications explains that the trademark covers \u201cdownloadable 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paypal\u2019s cryptocurrency platform allows customers in the U.S. and U.S. territories (excluding Hawaii) to transact with four different cryptocurrencies: bitcoin (BTC<\/a>), ethereum (ETH<\/a>), litecoin (LTC<\/a>), and bitcoin cash (BCH<\/a>). The payments company recently began allowing users to transfer crypto<\/a> to other wallets and exchanges. Earlier this month, Paypal was caught in a controversy when people on social media noticed that its new terms of service allowed the company to fine customers $2,500<\/a> for spreading misinformation. The company subsequently claimed that it was an error.<\/p>\n

Western Union Also Files 3 Trademark Applications for Crypto Services<\/h2>\n

Kondoudis reported Tuesday that financial services company Western Union also filed three trademark applications on the same day as Paypal. He wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Western Union has filed 3 trademark applications claiming plans for financial + banking + insurance, virtual currency exchange + transfer, commodity and crypto trading + brokerage, issuing tokens of value \u2026 and much more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The serial numbers for Western Union\u2019s applications are 97641189, 97641182, and 97641176.<\/p>\n

A growing number of companies have filed trademark applications relating to crypto and the metaverse with the USPTO. Earlier this month, Formula One<\/a> filed eight trademark applications for \u201cF1\u201d covering many crypto and metaverse products and services. Ford<\/a> similarly filed 19 trademark applications last month. E-commerce giant Ebay<\/a> filed two in June, Facebook owner Meta<\/a> filed five in May, and Mastercard<\/a> filed 15 related trademark applications in April.<\/p>\n
