I remember back during the NFT hype cycle how people were claiming they’d patented particular shades of color and were selling rights to them on the blockchain.
I gotta wonder who even enforces this shit. Where do you go to register a font-type you claim you own that looks shockingly similar to a font people have been using since the printing press was invented? So much of this just feels like vexatious litigation. “Ah, yes, that’s actually my ‘a’ and you need to pay me $20k to use it”.
It really is fucking obnoxious. I do understand in some instances where there’s some really cool font an ARTIST made but this obviously not the case. Just some snivelling pencil pushers that found a way to game the system and fuck people over.
