As far as Pidgin goes, I believe in many parts of the world, just using an identifying name is enough to get a trademark, although of course it wouldn't be a registered trademark unless it is actually formally registered. I have several books that mention Windows or Linux, I have read countless news, magazine, and web articles, and I stand by my assertion that these symbols are only rarely used, first mention or otherwise. A simple disclaimer is fine; anything else will cause significant inconsistency with pretty much zero benefit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063453 Title: references to 3rd-party intellectual property need to be displayed with trademark To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/+bug/1063453/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
