Hi Earnie, Thanks for the point that "MINGW" got a trademark (see https://trademarks.justia.com/860/17/mingw-86017856.html ). I was filled 2013-07-23, It is clear that from your side nothing constructive will show up. As mingw-w64 exits much longer before this date, I don't see how this trademark actually affects us. Especially in context of choosing an logo. We don't plan to use MINGW Organization's logo (see trademark The Mark Drawing is: 4000 - Standard character mark Typeset., ).
Nevertheless I am not a lawyer, and therefore I will contact our lawyers to get here clarification how this impacts us and if we need to deal with this assault.
