Polyhedra responds to Matter Labs’ promise: hopes to withdraw ZK trademark application

According to ChainCatcher, Polyhedra Network responded to Matter Labs’ previous ZK commitment as follows:

“1. zkSync showed the ZK trademark application to the exchange and tried to grab the ZK code through the ZK trademark application. This was not for defensive purposes;

2. There is no evidence that Vitalik supported Matter Labs in the trademark application. In fact, ZK inventors Silvio Micali and Shafi have expressed opposition to the ZK trademark;

3. In other fields, such as artificial intelligence, everyone can call it AI. However, no individual or company can register the AI ​​trademark because no one can truly represent or monopolize AI. If we allow a company to apply for the ZK trademark, it will set a bad precedent for the industry.

Thankfully, Matter Labs’ application has not yet been approved. We are speaking out here to raise awareness in the industry that this behavior must be stopped. We hope that Matter Labs will not monopolize the market under the banner of community and industry development, and please withdraw the ZK trademark application.”
