Good afternoon, I'm curious about a matter regarding cryptocurrencies. Specifically, I've been wondering: is Bitcoin a trademark? It seems to be a household name these days, but does it actually have legal protection as a trademark? Could you clarify whether it's registered or not, and if so, who owns the rights to this potentially lucrative moniker? Given its global recognition, I imagine this would be an important legal distinction to understand. Thank you for your time in clarifying this for me.
