$160M VC-BACKED COMPANY JUST KILLED MY EU TRADEMARK FOR A SMALL OSS PROJECT. IS IT EVEN WORTH FIGHTING?

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A small open-source project developer lost their EU trademark for "Deepkit" to a $160M-backed company, "Deepki," due to failure to demonstrate sufficient "genuine use" within the EU. The developer's provided data, including Google Analytics and download statistics, was rejected for lacking specific location data connecting usage to the EU. Now, the developer questions whether it is worth appealing the decision in the EU or fighting the US registration, especially considering the cost and the project's small scale.
