Twitter gets rights to the word "Tweet"

The name "Tweet" for a message at the micro-blogging service Twitter has become the norm in everyday life - but the company was able to secure only the rights to the word now. The company was registered in the U.S. Twittad "Tweet" as a brand and has been sued by Twitter. Now the dispute has been settled: get the Twitter "tweet" rights and let fall the lawsuit, said CEO James Eliason Twittad the Wall Street Journal. Whether money has gone, he would not say. Twitter a spokeswoman confirmed the sheet only, that there is an agreement.

In Twittad Twitter users can earn some money so that they disseminate marketing messages. Twitter had closed the account of the company in dispute with the short message service. Twitter argued that the word "Tweet" was already popular before it was protected as a trademark of Twittad. The service already tried since 2009 to get the trademark. It's about Twitter claims to avert confusion for users or potential damage to their image.
