-1, you have a trademark when it is registered. This has nothing to do with whether you enforce restricted use or not. You can at any time restrict the use. > But all is not lost. It's still licensed CC-By-SA, so anybody who uses > it has to acknowledge OpenStreetMap. no, he has to acknowledge the creator, which is Ken Vermette, and maybe (depending on the license of the original logo) the creator of the former logo. But all is not lost: of course it will be an implicit acknowledgement of OSM to use the logo --- at least if it comes to a point where it serves for its purpose: beeing a well known trademark (wikipedia: a tm is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an business organization or other legal entity to identify that the products or services to consumers with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
