Hi Regina, Indeed, the ASF holds now the OpenOffice.org
trademark in the US. The issue is about the OpenOffice
trademark (without the .org part), which for the US it is
reserved by someone else,
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=docstate=4002:4o6qwv.2.1
If there is such a trademark search website for Europe, then you
will find that the OpenOffice trademark is also taken in Europe
by someone else, and also in Brazil (that's why the Brazilian
team selected BrOffice). That's why we do not use OpenOffice
by itself. Simos
My trademark search says that open office and openoffice both
have dead trademark applications and thus are available to be
trademarked.
