>she also had tried to put an unregistered trademark on it until afterwarda lot of places grant unregistered trademarks for sufficiently well-known marks. that is to say, just by using the mark itself (VSMP) there could've been an implicit trademark that would be protected. that said, i think there's also an argument that VSMP is too general to receive protection in the first place, since there were already existing VTuber SMP servers before this one.
of course, none of this really matters from a legal standpoint. it's already been resolved. all that's left is the court of public opinion.
