    Unlikely. In the US for an assignment of a trademark to be valid, the assignment must also include the ‘goodwill’ associated with the mark.

    A letter individually considered, with only minimal stylization, will have lots of issues being protected and enforced as a trademark.

    Regardless of whether it may be considered a 'nondescript mark', lacking distinctiveness, failing to function, etc., enforceability will be limited as the owner will not have an exclusive right to the use of the letter itself. Essentially, the distinctive character of the mark will be limited to the stylization of the "X", which... is also not very distinctive.
