HI, >> TB40 The project performs some monitoring of 3rd party use of its >> trademarks, addressing any instances of misuse. > > Do you have some examples of how podlings or TLPs perform this today?
This varies from project to project: - Some projects have PMC members working at a company who use their trademark, and they make sure that things are correctly done. - Some projects have people who actively look out for these types of issues and report them. - Some projects are more active and set up automated Google searches and the like. - Not all issues occur on web pages. Some of these issues arise at conferences or 3rd party events and are often noticed by PMC members or ASF members. > It's unclear to me how I can understand and follow this guideline: > Shall the PMC check over the Internet? Is any 3rd party even with a > very low page rank should the PMC spend time to address it; or else > the PMC fail to meet this guideline? Yes, in most cases, the PMC should spend time addressing it. This is described in full at [1], how the project wishes to implement this is up to them. Kind Regards, Justin 1. https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/responsibility
