Company acquires CrowdSignal.com and applies for trademarks.
The company recently acquired The CrowdSignal.com domain name and has registered many variants of domains with “CrowdSignal” in them. CrowdSignal.com currently resolves to a WordPress site that is protected.
At the end of September, Automattic applied for two intent-to-use trademarks for ‘CrowdSignal’. The Goods and services are listed as:
Application service provider (ASP) featuring software in the field of online voting, surveys, polls, quizzes, questionnaires, assessments, and ratings for use with websites, blogs, email and social media.
It will be interesting to see if CrowdSignal is primarily a tool for use with WordPress or if it’s a standalone survey and polling solution.
The CrowdSignal.com domain name was listed on domain sales platform Undeveloped.com with a $25,000 asking price prior to its transfer to Automattic.
Hmm…there is an established business on similar lines operating out of CrowdSignals.io – wonder how they will resolve this name conflict?
In 2014 Consumer Reports operated a service called Crowd Signal for sourcing cell service feedback from consumers at CrowdSignal.org now defunct
