Leonidas Fegaras created MRQL-11:
------------------------------------
Summary: Establish whether "Apache MRQL" is a suitable name
Key: MRQL-11
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRQL-11
Project: MRQL
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Leonidas Fegaras
Assignee: Leonidas Fegaras
The US and EU trademark searches, and the Google search, suggest that the
project name MRQL does not conflict with a previously registered trademark.
More specifically,
1) I checked USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) at
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp
using the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) for a registered
trademark. The term I used was MRQL, meaning that "MRQL" could appear by
itself, or as a prefix or suffix to another trademark (by searching "*MRQL*").
The search was performed for live and dead terms, for for all fields: owner
name and address, serial number, and combined word mark. No matches were found.
The lack of matches means that the USPTO has no records of MRQL as a trademark.
2) I searched the EU Office for Harmonization of the Internal Market (OHIM), at
the Community Trademark Online database (CTM-ONLINE)
http://oami.europa.eu/ows/rw/pages/QPLUS/databases/searchCTM.en.do
and found 0 trade marks.
3) I did a web search on google for "MRQL". From the 100 first hits, all those
links that do not refer to the MRQL project (pre-Apache or the incubating), do
not refer to any other project or product.
Is there any other place I should check?
