Hi Dominik, I would suggest you add to your Jira issues some details: - Mention you checked the 4 trademark registries for a registration with this name - Provide the results of you checking the usage of the name on github, sourceforge, ... - Provide the results of a normal google search for the name to prove that it's not overly used in multiple ways, not used by any other project and generally protectable.
The namesearch should have as a result that: - The name is not a registered trademark - The name is not used by multiple projects (Hereby the ASF could not enforce the name as an implicit trademark) (Protecting "Apache Wombat" would not be possible as it's to commonly used ... even in the IT sector (Ask Justin about that)) The more information you provide, the sooner the search is finished and the results are official.

So I just conducted the name search and filed a ticket in Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PODLINGNAMESEARCH/issues/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-174 It seems there are good chances that the name will be accepted :-) It would be great if you could have a look and provide any feedback or things I've missed!
