Bluesky Secures AT Protocol Trademark to Protect Developers from Legal Abuse

Bluesky Trademarks ATProto

We recently acquired the AT Protocol trademark to shield our community from bad actors trying to hijack the name. This defensive move ensures developers can freely build on atproto without fear of legal threats. While we own the mark now, everyday use remains free, with licensing only required for commercial branding. We plan to transfer ownership to an independent governance body soon, following the lead of other major open-source projects.
