I think that would be more confusing. It would suggest the entire name was a trademark since it is a continuous name with capital letters. In the context of the page it makes full acknowledgement of where Apache OpenOffice is from. In fact it acknowledges this in the very first sentence of the page: "IBM Support for Apache OpenOffice offers expert technical support for Apache OpenOffice, the open source office software suite project from the Apache Software Foundation." The page also links back to www.openoffice.org. > > See point 4 in: > http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultant-submission.html > You should read the linked Apache page for what respecting marks means: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ Let me know if you see anything that does not comply with those requirements.
