Back in December of 2016 I wrote an article about BrandBucket.org. It seemed odd for a brandable marketplace to use the same name as the leader in that niche.
A Norwegian man has filed a trademark application for brandbucket. The applicant has registered the domain name brandbucket.org.
From Trademarkia:
Status Update! On Saturday, December 3, 2016, status on the BRANDBUCKET trademark changed to NEW APPLICATION FILED.

Well back on October 3, 2017 BrandBucket.org which is now running on BrandBucket.shop got a U.S. trademark. The USPTO has given the BRANDBUCKET trademark serial number of 87250042. The current federal status of this trademark filing is REGISTERED.
Very interesting to see this got approved. Not sure what BrandBucket.com will do but should but I would expect some kind of reply to the trademark.
