2 years agoI thought you couldn’t take a trademark that already exists. At least in my country when I applied my trademark I had to use a portal to check it didn’t exist and the service writes that they check too. Not sure about that but at least it’s supposed to be checked and blocked if already taken.
It was an internship and I didn’t plan on staying but once I got called in the manager’s office. He asked me if I were doing some industrial spying . At that point in life all I wanted was to go home and play some games for the rest of summer until university starts over.
He threatened me he could see everything I did on my computer and asked me if he should look it up. To which I said go ahead you’ll find my job.
Couple days later I arriver exactly 3 minutes lates because of public transportation issue. I used to arrive 15 minutes early everyday because my transport schedule was that way. I got summoned again to tell me to leave earlier.
I told all that to my university and they decided to blacklist the company. Being that my university was part of a .bigger network, their behaviour led them to be cut off from the biggest local intern pool.
No idea why they were so annoying, I wasn’t even browsing Reddit on their computer back then and used my phone for that kind of stuff. No idea what lead them to think I’d steal data. I don’t even know if they have competitors haha
