Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that every October, the medieval town of Lucca, Italy turns into the biggest comicon in Europe. 300,000 cosplayers and enthusiasts take over the historic center and local shops sell merchandise. by TheChopinet

Comic con literally stands for "comic convention" and has been used for over half a century. "Con" as a short for convention is incredibly ubiquitous. That trademark ruling was one of the most bullshit ones America ever did. Trademarking a literal descriptive title of a certain activity is ridiculous.

Fortunately, Lucca is not, in fact, in America.
