This is actually on the board-only section of the web page, so the URL wouldn't have been that useful... I'll append the one item on that page now (which was the inspiration for adding the page) to this mail. (Does it make sense to have that page in the board space. Not sure, but in this case we were more making a note to ourself / future boards than trying to really come up with a comprehensive of stuff to do with money.) Regards, Owen * Pursue international registration of GNOME. Tim asked our lawyer about this: Follow-up with lawyer on Trademark: Unlike U.S. law, the law of most foreign jurisdictions provides few or no rights based on use of a trademark. Instead, the first to register a trademark generally owns the trademark for the same or related goods, no matter who has used the mark in that jurisdiction. This puts a premium on filing applications overseas. There are two options, other than individual country registrations - -1- European Union Community Trade Mark (“CTM”) registration, includes Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. -2- Madrid Protocol is now available to U.S. trademark owners and offers coordinated international trademark registrations administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization, a U.N. agency based in Geneva, Switzerland. It is possible to include 60 countries, but is a newer and more expensive process. There is no deadline for filing under these systems. The projected cost was in the $3000-$4500 range. (Some cost needed to start - for searches, etc; additional cost to actually file.) _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
