I guess we’d better start referring to it as the H&R Blockchain.

GOOD

H&R Block will win this one.

The Fair Tax can be implemented by lowering the income tax rate to 1% for everyone. A 15% consumption tax implemented with an elimination of the corporate tax. Capital gains too. Congress and the states can then go to work eliminating the income tax altogether. Instead of 9-9-9 it would be 1-0-15. Problem solved.

As a seasonal preparer for H&R Block (HRB), I know the value of the brand name. We use the shorthand of ‘Block’ as much as people refer to a Coke rather than Coca-Cola. HRB has been in the tax business since 1955 when/as the IRS started to phase-out the offer of preparing taxes in their offices or by mail.

I cannot believe that Jack Dorsey is going into this conflict blind or surprised. It is obvious that he is willing to spend big to ‘grab’ an attractive name. My obvious hope is that he fails.

This is a clear violation of Block's trademark rights, which threatens to confuse consumers and cause harm.

Can you copyright the word "Block"? Or how about, "Black Block", or "Communist Block", or "Block Head"

Sadly, this may end up with Dorcey (I despise him) buying H&R Block for far more than the company is worth.

Damn, I've been using Square for all of my billing for my business. I didn't know Numbnuts Dorsey owned it.
Now, I gotta finish the migration to Quickbooks, Pronto.

[BiglyCommentary]

Dorsey should use Block Head.
