Background: With the announcement countdown underway, the legal team had assembled the trademark materials. One practical question remained: when and how would the name XAI enter commercial use in the United States?
Today: Commercial use of the XAI trademark in the United States formally began this month. The legal team dated, numbered, and filed every piece of evidence of use. To the narrator, it looked like a dull catalog; no one in the office stopped preparing the announcement to dwell on it.
Impact and next steps: What had been preparation for use now had a documented record of actual use. The date that drew so little attention at the time would later matter in a federal lawsuit. For now, the legal team still had to collect subsequent evidence; a declaration alone could not show how the trademark was used.
