Python trademark under attack in Europe
http://j.mp/X8iZrm (Pyfound)
"We got legal counsel in the UK and we (the PSF) are opposing the
community trademark application, but our own trademark application
hasn't yet matured. Accordingly, we are going with the trademark
rights we have developed through using "Python" consistently over
the past 20 years. According to our London counsel, some of the
best pieces of evidence we can submit to the European trademark
office are official letters from well-known companies "using
PYTHON branded software in various member states of the EU" so
that we can "obtain independent witness statements from them
attesting to the trade origin significance of the PYTHON mark in
connection with the software and related goods/services." We also
need evidence of use throughout the EU."
