I wasn't suggesting the Mageia invest in such..I just wanted to show that the Owner of Mageia.com and his mining company currently does not own any trademark patent copyright etc. I'm not a lawyer but if he did apply now I don't think he could then turn around and to what the owners of Mandrake the Magician did to Mandrake Linux. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olivier Méjean" <[email protected]> To: "Mageia general discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 2:06:38 AM Subject: Re: [Mageia-discuss] Google, yahoo, Hotmail and Flickr accounts

It is possible to register a trademark using uspto.gov. The cost is between $275 and $325 per class. For a trademark like Mageia there are several classes in which it fits (let's say 3 classes), so the cost is between $825 and $975 (just for US protection if i get it right) That a nice cost for a project that also needs servors, hosting, etc. Olivier Méjean Président de l'Association des Utilisateurs Francophones de Mandriva Linux http://mandrivafr.org twitter : obagoom identi.ca : goom _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss
