[Zope3-Users] Zope 3 Distilled book update 3
Hi all, (This is about : http://kpug.zwiki.org/Zope3Distilled) This is yet another update of book progress. Few days back I have requested Stephan Richter for using Zope 3 Book's [1] content in this work. Now I got a reply from him, so we can use his works. I have added attribution notice at the bottom of page. Now there is some content in first 5 chapters. But we cannot call it a book yet :) To get the latest changes as mail, subscribe from here : http://kpug.zwiki.org/Zope3Distilled/subscribeform Thanks Simon for helping me to set up subscription form.

Re: [Zope3-Users] Zope 3 Distilled book update 3
One way is to use the US Patent and Trademark website search. Here is a link to a search for Addison-Wesley in ALL fields there is no mention of distilled being registered as a word mark (not trademark, those are for logos and such). http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=tocstate=ntm86k.1.1p_search=searchssp_L=50BackReference=p_plural=yesp_s_PARA1=p_tagrepl%7E%3A=PARA1%24LDexpr=PARA1+AND+PARA2p_s_PARA2=Addison-Wesleyp_tagrepl%7E%3A=PARA2%24ALLp_op_ALL=ANDa_default=searcha_search=Submit+Querya_search=Submit+Query Or just go to the USPTO home: http://www.uspto.gov/ and click on Trademarks and then Search. It looks to me like using Distilled is fine here. If a lawyerly letter comes your way asking you to cease and desist someday, write back saying Oh, I'm so sorry, but if you can please refer me to the serial number and registration number for your U.S. word mark registration with which my use of Zope 3 Distilled is in conflict, so that I can refer this to my attorneys, I would be ever so grateful. However I cannot possibly take any action based solely on your kind letter alone. I look forward to hearing from you again. XOX, Baiju.

Thanks Benji and Lupa for your suggestions. I am going to change the book title now itself to avoid problems in future. I finalised a simple title for this book, Zope Guide. Yes, no 3 :) Regards, Baiju M ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
