Streetscape is totally fine, if you just want to have the same problems again. Rough step by step guide to finding a workable product name: - don't do it in public - don't use anything descriptive - google for the name - do an exhaustive trademark search (or rather let your fav IP counsel do

Sigh Trademarks are not patents, there is no concept similar to prior art (there is in the US some thing which comes quite close, but that is just 1 (one) country). If you are a trademark owner you need to monitor applications that are close to your mark and if the examiners don't throw

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetView name change

How about just StreetScape? I think the open- prefix is unnecessary unless OpenStreetView is officially part of the OSM project? We should be expecting all good projects to be open by default, so branding as Open may be unnecessary. In addition, projects should be aiming to compete on features

I'm guessing they are claiming trademark rights on the term "Street View" which is not entirely unreasonable. (IANAL, etc) Toby On Tue, Nov 8, 2016 at 9:42 AM, Glenn Plas wrote: > Does well-know-bully-company own the word 'view' ? I don't understand > why you consider

Knock yourselves out by not being able to choose: http://www.namemesh.com/domain-name-search/open%20street%20photo?show=1 But I still think it's bullshit to claim this as it's clearly a part of the openstreet-brand if you just put the word 'view' behind it. I think it's definitely totally

[OSM-talk] OpenStreetView name change

Hi all, A few months ago, we started with OpenStreetView, the free and open street level imagery project made 100% for OSM with apps for Android and iOS. Since then, we not only have collected almost 30 kilometers of coverage, but also received a lot of attention from both you and the press.
