[Foundation-l] Registering Wikimedia trademarks

Wed Apr 28 14:37:01 UTC 2004

There are problems with posting to this list from
gmane, so I'm sending this on behalf of Anthere and
Jamesday.

Anthere supports what Michael is saying about the need
to register trademarks, and would like to know if
anyone has made any estimates of the cost of doing
this in each country. Basically, has any overall
amount been calculated? 

Jamesday has suggested that registering the trademarks
are probably not really needed for protection as the
name is quite well known now. For domain names, the
uniform domain name dispute policy requires that the
name be registered and used in good faith. Stealing a
Wikipedia name is bad faith and makes any site likely
to lose.

Angela.
