CoinJournal reported on Friday that the Litecoin Association is likely to win a case against an individual who tried to trademark the name ‘Litecoin’ within the European Union.

Litecoin Association board member Andrew Vegetabile explained that initially they wanted to show the courts that no one owned Litecoin. However, to improve their chances of winning, they had the inventor of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, transfer the rights of Litecoin to the Litecoin Association.

“The plan going forward is that we win this opposition, then apply for a trademark ourselves. After receiving one, we will be releasing it to the public free of use for any products and services. Because the Litecoin Association truly believes that no one owns Litecoin, it belongs to everyone”, he added.
