Fujitsu applies for crypto trading trademark

Fujitsu filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), disclosing its intent to provide brokerage services for cryptocurrency trading, among other crypto and non-crypto financial services.

The trademark application filed by Fujitsu on March 16 seeks to register a new mark consisting of “the stylized word FUJITSU with a sideways s-shaped swirl over the J and I,” according to the official document.

The branding is devoted to providing financial services such as accepting deposits, financing loans, financial management, and crypto asset exchange.

The image displayed above is the updated logo that Fujitsu intends to register as a trademark for its services.

In addition, the following excerpt provides an overview of the services Fujitsu disclosed to the USPTO in conjunction with its trademark application.

In February, Fujitsu launched a Web3 acceleration platform for startups and partner companies, demonstrating its growing interest in Web3.

The objective of the platform is to simplify the process of developing a diverse ecosystem of Web3 applications suited to a wide variety of use cases by lowering the bar for entry.

These use cases include commercial transactions, processes, and workflow management, as well as the administration of digital content rights.

At the beginning of the year 2023, Japanese financial authorities appealed to their colleagues all over the globe, pleading with them to put more restrictive banking controls on the cryptocurrency industry.

It was verified by Mamoru Yanase, who works for the Financial Services Agency as the deputy director general of the Strategy Development and Management Bureau, that the issue did not involve bitcoin.

He went on to declare that “poor governance, inadequate internal controls, and the absence of regulation and monitoring” were to blame for the most recent problem, even though he had previously said that cryptography itself was not to blame for the situation in question.
