Hi Regina, Indeed, the ASF holds now the "OpenOffice.org"
trademark in the US. The issue is about the "OpenOffice"
trademark (without the ".org" part), which for the US it is
reserved by someone else,

If there is such a trademark search website for Europe, then you
will find that the "OpenOffice" trademark is also taken in Europe
by someone else, and also in Brazil (that's why the Brazilian
team selected "BrOffice"). That's why we do not use "OpenOffice"
by itself. Simos
My trademark search says that open office and openoffice both
have dead trademark applications and thus are available to be
trademarked.
