[IANALY] Legally-speaking, once we've registered it, as long as we defend it, it doesn't matter if we've given them 'hints'- it is their responsibility to do the research before reusing. I'm generally in favor of using tm/r, but not on the front of a t-shirt in very large prints. The point of the shirt is to be pretty, not legally correct :) Luis -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
