Probably closing the thread with answers to the questions would have
been better approach, instead of "terminating" so.
Fyi, Sarasvati is Vedic goddess of knowledge & ingenuity, and the
goddess made such knowledge & ingenuity available for others but never
implemented on Her own.
pracoditaa yena pura sarasvati
vitanvataajasya satiim smritim hridi
--- --- --- -- SB 2.4.22
Here the goddess Sarasvati made potent-knowledge-ingenuity available to Brahma …
But look what we have gotten here from "Unicode" Sarasvati;
and one can also "invoking" this Sarasvati :-)

Dear list members,
This is your official notification that this thread is now terminated.
The discussions of 3rd party font IP and trademark status are out of scope
and unlikely to result in enlightening discussion here.

Are you suggesting Incorporate is equal to Consortium in this case?
"The" usage is grammatical.
Or is it mentioned somewhere that you would use "The Unicode Consortium"
only?

Both refer to the same organization. Usually, you would use "The Unicode
Consortium".

Above is correct as per an existing English language standard, where ALL
CAPS is used in order to emphasis, i.e., make it "louder".
But where does it say "the use of ALL CAPS is discouraged"?
And Is it Unicode Inc or is it Unicode Consortium? Which one is correct?

Yes, Unicode (The Unicode Standard), is indeed a standard.
And no, the use of ALL CAPS is discouraged. The
proper spelling is "Unicode".
> that needs to be followed by all COUNTRIES ?
there's no requirement for anyone to be conformant
to the Unicode Standard. However, if you decide to
claim conformance, there are specific requirements that
you must meet, and they are defined in the Standard.

Yes, Unicode (The Unicode Consortium) is indeed a consortium. If you just
use "Unicode" as a shorthand, you need to rely on the context of your
communication to allow readers to understand whether you mean the Standard
or the Consortium.
The Unicode Consortium is the publisher of The Unicode
Standard as well as several other technical standards.
As with the Unicode Standard, there is no requirement
that you support these standards. But if you decide to
claim conformance to any of them, there are specific requirements that you
must meet.
Hope this makes the situation more clear.
