Disney's petition rejects trademark application for cryptocurrency Tron

Raybo Technology, a Tron Foundation partner in China related to cryptocurrency Tron, had filed for Tron trademark registration in the United States, but was rejected by Disney's opposition.

Initially, in 2018, the company applied for registration of three trademarks, TRON, TRONNETWORK, and TRONIX, but a major mass media company, Disney, had filed an opposition as a trademark infringement.

After the Tron Foundation failed to respond to Disney's claims, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) adopted Disney's opinion and rejected the trademark application.

Disney released a science fiction movie called “TRON (Tron)” in 1982, with a focus on it, including the sequel movie “TRON Legacy”, as well as various TV anime, video games, music, etc. Products are being rolled out.

Compounding this problem is the fact that both companies have capitalized all alphabets as "TRON". Disney accused the Tron Foundation's notation of this notation as closely resembling its own "TRON" mark.
