trademark trade-name
Can I use the term &quot;tweets&quot; for posts at my own site?
<p>Can I use the term &quot;tweets&quot; for posts at my own site? And if I put the word &quot;tweet&quot; in quotes?</p>

<p>From what I can see on the USPTO registry, &quot;tweet&quot; is still not trademarked for the purposes you're talking about.</p>
<p>Twitter has been working to secure that trademark, but I can't find any record of them having actually secured it.</p>
<p>Just the same, I'd predict that using it will get you at least a cease-and-desist letter, and possibly a lawsuit. Whether you'd win that case seems to be a very open question, but that presumes you have the resources to litigate.</p>
