Brand History & Trademark Analysis
PayPal was founded in December 1998 as Confinity and merged with Elon Musk's X.com in 2000 before adopting the PayPal name. The company filed for its trademark in 1999 and registered it in 2002. eBay acquired PayPal in 2002 for $1.5 billion, spinning it off as an independent company in 2015. PayPal registered the "PP" monogram as a figurative trademark alongside the word mark, allowing UK brand protection in both logo and text form.
