Shane Curcuru commented on HADOOP-13184:
----------------------------------------
The logo should have a TM symbol; we do not currently hold a registration on
the logo itself.
The mere use of the stylized HADOOP word within the logo does not mean the logo
should be an (R), even though HADOOP as a word is registered in several
countries. Trademark law generally treats words separately from obviously
stylized or graphical displays of words, so while the word (in any normal
typeface) is registered, the logo depicting it is not.
Also, trademark law is often very specific about exact logos, or officially
recognizing part of a logo vs. the entirety of the design. Thus if the PMC
wants to request registration of a new logo, we must provide the *exact* logo
image we want to register. While there are some trademark protections for
similar designs, the strongest legal protection (and ability to use (R)) only
extends to the same or virtually the same graphical image (although I'm pretty
sure we could (R) a black & white version of the same image, if we registered
the normal color version).
