While you are technically right, as a mentor I would not approve the graduation of NetBeans without the trademark being officially transferred, so I think this should happen rather sooner than later. I think it's great that the NetBeans PPMC is acting as if the trademark is already transferred, as part of learning to operate as Apache project. Assuming the current owner of the NetBeans mark agrees. -Bertrand
