Week as far as I remember, there were several registries that I needed to check 
for registered trademarks (EU, us, China and India I think).. After that some 
searches on Google, github, source forge etc... I guess with training, the 
github etc. searches will be challenging. As I said: we will not be able to 
officially trademark "training"... I would suggest to search the trademark 
registries (not expecting any issues here) and to leave a bit if text about not 
expecting the name to be trademarkable.

Possibly also look how the apache answer project did it's name search, as they 
had similar issues.

Subject: Name search help

There are two documents that say how to do a name search. 
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/names.html and 
https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/naming.html#namesearch

They mostly agree, although the second one points to 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PODLINGNAMESEARCH/issues/?filter=allopenissues
 as a starting point, which is a rather intimidating page with no clue as to 
how to proceed.

Can someone who has actually successfully navigate the name search process 
nudge me in the right direction here? Thanks.
