Bluesky, the decentralized social network, has trademarked its AT Protocol (ATProto), which serves as the foundation for its platform and aims to enable interoperable social networking. This legal step could impact how the protocol is used by third parties and signals Bluesky's intent to maintain control over its core technology. The move highlights ongoing tensions between openness and proprietary control in decentralized tech.
