Q: there a way to claim inactive username on instagram when owning the trademark for it as instagram wont grant me name?
A:
Securing an inactive Instagram username when you own the trademark can be challenging. Instagram has specific policies regarding username claims, and simply owning a trademark doesn’t automatically guarantee you'll receive the desired name. It's important to ensure that the username is indeed inactive and not being used in a way that aligns with their guidelines.
Start by reviewing Instagram’s trademark policies thoroughly. You may need to submit a formal request or report through their official channels, providing evidence of your trademark ownership. Be clear and detailed in your documentation to support your claim effectively.
If your initial request is denied, consider reaching out to Instagram’s support for further clarification or assistance. Sometimes, persistence and clear communication can make a difference. Additionally, staying updated on any policy changes can help you navigate the process more successfully in the future.
