> [NAME SEARCH] Research Nominated Names
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: SENSSOFT-308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENSSOFT-308
> Project: SensSoft
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Joshua Poore
> Priority: Major
>
> For each nomination submitted to dev@senssoft.incubator.apache.org, perform
> research on the name to confirm that it is clear of "collisions" with other
> products in the same class. "Collisions" can include both infringement on
> protected marks (Trademarks), as well as brand confusion with other similar
> products that would make it difficult to discover our products. As outlined
> in ASF Guidelines, this exercise is both due diligence and marketing
> ([http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs.html]).
> Each nomination will be investigated separately, with each research task
> represented in sub-tasks under SENSSOFT-308. Each subtask will link to a wiki
> page that will allow us to capture research for that name. Templatized wiki
> pages will ensure that we are doing the right research.
> To perform an appropriate search, use internet search tools (e.g., search
> engines) to search for usage of nominated project names and for technical
> terms to see if similar names are used by similar products (e.g., user logs,
> user activity software, clickstream, etc., etc.).
> There are two required searches: Google (or similar), and USPTO. Details can
> be found on the linked Wiki page below (and here
> [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SENSSOFT/Branding+and+Marketing?src=jira]).
