Good morning President :) Gianugo pointed me to the homepage of Make Mayem[1] and I found a trademarked software[2] which is called Mayhem as well. Trademarkia shows that more than 10 pages of results of products are registered with the name "Mayhem", which I suspect is a daily used word in English language, especially in the US.
Giving an overview: * _Make Mayhem_ is an application that lets you connect trigger events to reactions. Unlike writing a program, you simply select an event and a reaction, and then turn on the connection. Voila! No code or app required. * _Mayhem_ is a computer software for use in the encryption and decryption of digital files, including audio, video, text, binary, still images, graphics and multimedia files * _Apache Mayhem_ aims to create a community focused on the development and maintenance of a set of Google Guice extensions My question - IANAL and don't aim to be :P - is: where the legal issues comes out? We don't aim to "invade" someone else's domain... If the Mayhem is a trademark by Grey Heron Technologies, LLC for a software, aren't Outercurve's guys violating a TM? Sorry if asking silly questions, many thanks in advance! best, -Simo [1] http://www.makemayhem.com/ [2] http://www.trademarkia.com/mayhem-85483903.html [3] http://www.trademarkia.com/trademarks-search.aspx?tn=Mayhem http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 2:10 PM, Jim Jagielski <j...@jagunet.com> wrote: > Different topic: Is there a potential naming/trademark > issue related to a pre-existing project? > > http://www.outercurve.org/Galleries/InnovatorsGallery/Mayhem > > Thanks! > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
