WordPress’s Trademark Filings: A Gamechanger for Hosting Market
WordPress, a top platform for creating websites or blogs, has filed to trademark ‘Managed WordPress’ and ‘Hosted WordPress.’ These terms refer to specific hosting solutions provided by WordPress, where all technical aspects are taken care of by the host. This move to trademark these terms indicates WordPress’s intention to exercise greater control over its hosting services. The potential implications for users may include increased uniformity and quality in WordPress related services. For competitors, this maneuver could pose a challenge, especially for those offering WordPress-specific hosting solutions. The final impact of this development will be determined by the approval of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
