I'd like to address several issues raised by people in relation to my notice of the ssh(R) trademark to the OpenSSH group. Also, I would like to make a proposal to the community for resolving this issue (included at the end). First, I'll answer a number of questions and arguments presented in the discussion. > "the SSH Corp trademark registration in the US is for a logo only"...

I received the following e-mail in response to an e-mail I had sent to SSH communications questioning the wisdom of their requesting OpenSSH to change it's name. Contained in the message is that statement that SSH Communications did not exert their trademark rights earlier becuase it's only recently that OpenSSH has become more visible. In the United States, this would invalidate the trademark because the US requires that a trademark holder exercise due dilligence in protecting the mark -- and that due dilligence has always been intrepretted as no...

Hi folks XenSource published a trademark policy[1]. I don't think we will be able to follow it if we want to support installation of different versions at the same time.

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64 Version: 3.0-unstable+hg11561-1 Severity: serious It seems Xen has a similar trademark policy as the much discussed Mozilla one. Specifically http://www.xensource.com/xen-tm-faq.html says: | 16. If I distribute a changed version of the Xen? hypervisor, may I | say that the changed product is the Xen hypervisor? | | No. If you have changed an Official Version of the Xen hypervisor...

Hi, I usually stay away from issues like this, basically because I'm not a lawyer (and don't want to be one), and I don't have a real interest in these issues. Quoting Tatu : > We also have a trademark pending on the Secure Shell mark This seriously undermines the IETF standard draft. It's the same as registering 'milk' as a trademark. Both Secure and Shell are common used words, so this trademark doesn't make sense to me. I personally also find it strange that this trademark is...

There was an interesting note in a recent fedoraproject.org newsletter regarding Redhat's legal views on referring to others' trademarks. Since the comments are lengthy, they are not reproduced here and are available at the links below.

I''m pulling text out of a database that contains special characters, like the trademark sign. For example, a typical string might be like this: string_from_database => "Some Special Brand\231 is for sale this Thursday through Friday." The \231 is the trademark sign (TM). ERB converts this to question marks. So, my question is -- how can I get it to display the tradem...

The "2005 Readers' Choice Awards" voting is in progress at Linux Journal, and CentOS is Nominated in the "distribution:" category.

...penBSD core members on this, including Markus Friedl, Theo de Raadt, and Niels Provos, but they have chosen not to bring the issue up on the mailing list. I am not aware of any other forum where I would reach the OpenSSH developers, so I will post this here. As you know, I have been using the SSH trademark as the brand name of my SSH (Secure Shell) secure remote login product and related technology ever since I released the first version in July 1995. I have explicitly claimed them as trademarks at least from early 1996. In December 1995, I started SSH Communications Security Corp to support and fu...

> Ubuntu and Knoppix can say they use Debian sources ... SLAX can say it > uses Slackware sources. Those guys have trademarks too. Debian and Slackware don't sell "enterprise" products. And many such projects are non-profit or otherwise. Unless Debian plans to establish itself as a commercial player, they don't need to defend their trademark. In fact, the commercial entity behind Debian is not named...

I would also like to mention that when I released TTSSH in May 1998, I had no concerns about violating any trademarks because I observed that the name "SSH" was already being used by several different parties for different purposes --- as the name of Ylonen's original SSH package and its derivatives, as the name of the protocol, and as a component of names of other implementations and proposed imple...

From: Les Mikesell <lesmikesell at gmail.com> > Can you get the product without being bound by the restrictions? > That is, can one user purchase one and resell copies without the SLA > or with their own? Not with the trademark, that is mis-appropriation. If you want to complain about Red Hat doing this, then you'll want to complain about a number of distributors well before Red Hat who are far worse. > The GPL covers anything that can be considered a derivative work under > copyright law. That certainly incl...

Dear SSH community, It has been brought to my attention that is has been disputed whether the term "SSH" can be used freely as a term to describe implementations compatible with the "SSH" protocols, due to trademark issues. In particular, the owner of the "SSH" trademark argues that implementations compatible with the "SSH" protocols shall no longer be allowed to have names that in any way can be related to "SSH". This is most undesirable. "SSH" has been coined as a term...

...9;m emailing this to you guys I'm thinking of creating a project based on JBoss EAP the same way CentOS does with RHEL. Obviously I can't call it JBoss EAP so I thought I could call it CentAP, for Community Enterprise Application Platform. Will this infringe on the Red Hat and/or CentOS trademarks? -- Pouar

Thanks for the reply. I had already visited the links mentioned by you. The link? https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/ talks about non-usage of trademarks in commercial software which is taken care. The link https://www.centos.org/legal/ talks very less about legal terms and condition. Is there some other link which mentions about the License model used by CentOS. Infact, no where it is mentioned that it follows...

Hi, sorry if this is considered off-topic, however I suspect that this list is full of people developing their own web apps who would appreciate this kind of information, so: I was wondering whether anybody would be willing to share his/her experience with trademarking a web app''s name(/logo) in the US. What are the alternatives, and what is the best/most affordable way to do it? Thanks! Ingo -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Colleagues, What is the easiest means to embed a: ? (registered) or ? (trademark) sign in text in a graphic. I would like to use mtext and avoid plotmath, if possible. Ideally, the sign should be superscripted but I can easily sacrifice that. Optimally, I need a solution that works in both OS X and Windows (? XP) and with R versions ? 2.11 Thanks in advance.
