Who Really Coined This Catchphrase

It’s the principle of it. So, who really coined the catchphrase “leafBuilder?”

Was it the Austrian AI programmer Alex Champandard who’s been a collaborating member of the GitHub community for years and whose swift fingers and experimental computer code, by happenstance, resulted in the words “leaf” and “Builder” being conflated into a single word and catchphrase way back in 2007?

Or, was it that bitter and meddlesome John Sudds, [the catchphrase’s current trademark owner], who says he conceived the conflated word mark and began building the brand back in 2008, and who’s convinced that nothing on any major search engine cataloged the catchphrase in any software code when he invented it?

Perhaps a computer forensics expert is needed to dissect it all. An expert could determine the plausible truth. They, in particular, could investigate certain logic in software algorithm patterns and/or behaviors. He or she could examine the consistency in code discovery and language formations, server updates [Wayback Machine], and webpage updates, and would deploy other necessary tools to nail down the digital history of the phrase leafBuilder.

John believes he’s always been the original inventor of the brilliantly conflated “leafBuilder.” Hence, no entity or individual has ever challenged the trademark application. Likely because of decisive timelines and the formation of the conflated wordmark, which could not stand up to computer software forensics during litigation.
