About this listen

 Companies are racing to trademark everyday words, phrases, and even gestures, gaining legal control and building barriers for competitors. Trademarks offer indefinite protection if renewed, fueling a surge in filings, especially with emerging technologies like AI. This arms race creates valuable assets, enables legal threats, and makes it harder for small businesses to compete, while new AI tools help enforce these rights across the internet.
