SAN FRANCISCO - The stage is set for some fireworks on the last day of the JavaOne show next week, where Sun Microsystems Inc. has assembled a panel to debate the thorny issue of whether it should release its Java technology under an open source license.

ComputerWorld: JavaOne: Sparks may fly at open-source debate. I wonder why people who are actually working on open-source Java are not on the panel; I imagine Tom Tromey or Dalibor Topic would be happy to participate. I'm less concerned about Sun's source code than about putting all Java implementers on a level footing, so if I were on this panel I'd be asking questions about JCK, shared code, and trademark licensing. The press never mentions these issues, possibly because Sun has framed the debate to be purely about their code.

Should Google Have Anything To Do With
Ad Trademark Questions 05/04/2004 03:09 PM
Google keeps running into lawsuits concerning companies who buy advertisements based on the names or trademarks of their competitors. We've already explained why should be perfectly legal under trademark law (which doesn't prevent all use of a trademarked term - just any use that is seen to be confusing people into believing one company is another company). However, this NewMediaZero piece points out that, even if it is a trademark violation, it makes no sense to go after Google, who is simply the publisher. If they must go after someone, the complaining companies should go after those who they are accusing of misusing their trademarks: the competitors buying the ads. Of course, what this article leaves out is that the complaining companies are upset that Google appears to be profiting off of their trademark by selling the ads. I wonder what would happen if Google set up a "compromise" position where a portion of the money that an advertiser paid for advertising on a trademarked keyword went to the trademark owner?

Google May Lose Rights to Use the Gmail
Trademark 08/13/2004 01:41 AM
<b>cybershark</b> has reported in our <i>Back Page News</i> that Google, after its Gmail debut, does not hold legal rights to the trademark, yet.

Normally, the registrations for trademarks are handled in a "first come, first served" basis and in this case, Google is in fact, the fourth in line. Who gets it first? Cencourse, a Miami company that provides multimedia services has filed the application on the same day that <a href=http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=18716&category=main target=_blank>Google spilled the beans on Gmail</a>.

The first applicant, Cencourse, filed the application on March 31st. Precision Research jumped in on April the 2nd, following by the British market research firm, Independent International Investment Research (IIIR) who filed the application on the next day. Google didn't make a move until April 7th.

IIIR is the only company out of the three that contacted Google about the dispute. The company's CEO admitted to operating a service with similar name since 2002 and filed the application after hearing about Google's service.

"Having invested in making our target market aware of our service, we wish to avoid the confusion that would inevitably arise if a much, much larger firm were to brand its service indistinguishably from our own," he said.

It is likely that the dispute will be heading to court where Google's attorney holds confidence in victory. One could only imagine why the trademark ownership hasn't been taken cared off before the service gets announced.
