So just found out about this today on /r/ABDL (the claim was filed back in October). Haven't seen it posted here yet (also not sure if this is the right section, but it directly relates to a major supplier), so thought I might as well. Rearz has filed for copyright claims to "ABDL" in the US:

I've heard they've filed in Canada as well, though I don't have a link. Its highly unlikely that they win this, but if they did, they could either send cease and desist notices or demand licensing payment from ABU, Wearing Clouds, or pretty much any company that uses the term ABDL anywhere. Think like when The Fine Bros attempted to trademark reaction videos.
They just put out a statement as to why, in which they claim its to protect internet commerce ("We have ads and accounts permanently blocked on Facebook, eBay, Kijiji, Google ads with payment processors and more simply from using the term.") They also claim that The ABDL Shop already has the rights to ABDL (They don't) and deflecting the blame for the reaction on their competitors (supposedly they singled out The ABDL Shop, but edited and removed it from the statement)

EDIT: So the part they edited was them calling out Aww So Cute, who are making a lot of noise of this on social media. Supposedly a class action lawsuit.
