Being around for three years and not having anyone contact the project will not be good enough, although it is promising. The Incubator status template makes a reference to www.nameprotect.com, but I am not sure how we go about the search and what is the criteria to pass this check.
Last I checked (a year ago) this was an obsolete reference.
Can anyone from legal comment? (Please reply to all)
The name checks I've run for other podlings have been a google search and analysis of the first few hundred hits.

Since the joomla product has been renamed, I don't think there's any issue there. Also the juniper product is named slightly different to J - dash - Security, so they're not an exact overlap. This coupled with the different target of their focus(totally different than ours), I think that makes things 'safe'.Plus in the last 3 or so years, I'm sure they've seen us (just do any search engine lookup for 'jsecurity' and we're always number one), but no one has ever contacted us about naming conflicts. I'm fairly sure they don't care -if they would have, they'd have said something by now... At least that's my take on it :)I wonder if should investigate purchasing a registered trademark just incase...On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 2:17 AM, Alan D.

We'll probably need to do a more thorough search.
