First-come, first-served
Snapchat says usernames are first-come, first-served and generally not transferable.
A mark in a username is not a violation by itself
Snapchat says a trademark in a username does not automatically violate policy.
What the owner has to show
Commercial use that suggests an affiliation, for example Story content or commercial chats or Snaps.
If there is no evidence
Snapchat says to choose a different username. The Snapchat claim page explains how Atclaim checks this first.
