Hi,

I am writing a blog post in French about I3, DAC, BitsharesX, etc., and for the sake of precision I just want to know what exactly is Bitshares?
Is it a trademark registered by Invictus or something that every body can use?

It's a community, brand and ecosystem.

I see BitShares as an ecosystem ... containing several blockchains .. not just BitSharesX
As far as I know you are good to go and can use the name for an article. ... when it comes to releasing a chain within the BitShares Ecosystem I am sure you will need community approval (consensus) that your chains is alligable to use the name ;-)

From the FAQ @ bitshares.org:
Quote
What are BitShares?
BitShares is the brand of a community of independent Distributed Autonomous Company (DAC) developers. A DAC is a free market company whose shares can be transferred from person to person over the internet without any third party brokers. A DAC is not a legal entity or person like traditional companies, but exists entirely as a decentralized transaction ledger maintained by a network of individual computers owned by regular people all over the world.

and it is written "BitShares" with a capital S in the middle ;-)
