Hi Dims,

The Foundation does have trademark registrations for some of the big tent project names. We don’t have a blanket rule for the scenario you mention, so the best path is to give us some more details about the specific project and plans for it and we can discuss what the options are.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi,

Does the foundation hold trademarks for any of the big tent projects?

Does the policy cover any such marks? [1]

What are the options if someone active in the community decides to continue their work outside the foundation using the same project name?

Thanks, Dims
