Leonidas Fegaras commented on PODLINGNAMESEARCH-32:
---------------------------------------------------
The US and EU trademark searches, and the Google search, suggest that the
project name MRQL does not conflict with a previously registered trademark.
More specifically,
1) I checked USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) at
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp
using the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) for a registered trademark.
The term I used was MRQL, meaning that "MRQL" could appear by itself, or as a
prefix or suffix to another trademark (by searching "*MRQL*"). The search was
performed for live and dead terms, for all fields: owner name and address,
serial number, and combined word mark. No matches were found.
2) I searched the EU Office for Harmonization of the Internal Market (OHIM), at
the Community Trademark Online database (CTM-ONLINE)
http://oami.europa.eu/ows/rw/pages/QPLUS/databases/searchCTM.en.do
and found 0 trade marks.
3) I did a web search on Google for "MRQL". From the first 100 hits, all those
links that do not refer to this MRQL project (pre-Apache or the incubating
one), do not refer to any other project or product.
Is there any other place I should check?
