Re: [Marketing] Open Office/OpenOffice.org/OOo

It's actually very easy, Daniel. I've trademarked Mad Penguin for 
instance. The problem for some would be the cost involved. It cost me 
$360 if I remember correctly, but it's dropped to $325. You can do it 
right online from the comfort of your home or office hehe. It takes them 
up to 6mos to get back to you on whether or not they'll accept it 
though. Considering I found nothing else even close, it should come 
through just fine. The link is here:

Also, if you'd like to perform your own search, you can go here to look 
for existing trademarks:

Hope this helps!

Cool, how do you trademark something in the states?
If it's not difficult, maybe we could register a trademark now, even if 
we're not sure we're going to use it. Better to leave that door open.

Cheers,
Daniel.

I think "OpenOffice" would be an alright name. I don't quite understand 
why we can't use it. Who owns it? I haven't figured that out yet.

     

Nobody as far as I can tell. There are only two claims that I can find 
in the US trademark office and they're both dead claims:

http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=74315910

This leaves OOo wide open to trademark it at will
