<BR>
No, I believe the issue was more around expense -- i.e., it wasn't <BR>
worth it to try and obtain a tm registration for the logo <BR>
specifically. Rather, we would focus energy around protecting the <BR>
OSGeo name. I discussed this with Jennifer at Autodesk awhile back <BR>
and I'm not sure where the OSGeo registration stands.<BR>
<BR>
This does not mean, however, that we cannot claim a trademark in the <BR>
logo, only that we wouldn't seek federal registration for the mark. <BR>
So we can (and should) still use a "TM" superscript on the logo, but <BR>
not the "(R)" superscript (as this denotes a registered mark)<BR>
