It's my understanding that a trademark protects a name that you want to use for something (or class of things). It allows you to stop other people from using that same name for similar, but different things in that class. Why does Sugar Labs need a trademark for "Sugar on a Stick" unless it plans to get in the (hopefully) potential business of saying "yes" or "no"? > I'm all for changing our strategy, marketing and PR, but there needs > to be compelling marketing reasons for doing so.

And if appropriate say why you think such promotion efforts are important to Sugar Labs.
