How would Warner Bros have any legal standing to sue a passport office for copyright or trademark infringement over assigning a passport under a person’s name, that just so happens to have a very similar or exact name as one of the Warner Bros’ trademarks.
Imagine what would happen if some company sues any legal entities for performing their duties under a person’s name. That would get their claims (mostly) tossed out of court and laughed!
At first, it seems like they made a stupid decision, but dig a little deeper then you might realize that they’re trying to support the bad law to keep competitors drowning in legal muddle enough to make them bankrupt.
You know what Microsoft’s copilot is liable to? Trademark issues. GitHub has their own copilot and when they see Microsoft copy their trademark, GitHub’s gonna sue Microsoft for trademark infringement.
