Cc: <oodf-board@lists.oasis-open.org>If I understand right (though that's not certain here), their TM problems named here are not something like a competing 'tree' logo user, but rather,
- a federal CA TM examiner with a technical bitch about the scope, and
- some delays in transferring from Fedora Commons.ÂÂ
If I have that right then our job is simply oversight to make sure
- they are handling things OK and not facing fatal flaws,
- they (and thus OODF) are not facing litigation, and
- whatever needs to be legally transferred to the new foundation is being handled.
So no, not a takeover.ÂSeems to me I should have a brief phone chat with Heather. Is that feasible and are we pestering her a lot?James Bryce Clark, General Counsel, OASIS Open, setting the standard for open collaborationOn Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 8:09 AM Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org> wrote:Do we want to getÂinvolved in this process and/or push the work to our trademark team? I'm inclined to think that's not mandatory, but what do you think?---------- Forwarded message ---------

To: Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>Hi Scott,I wanted to share this update on our (very long) journey to our trademark in Canada. The attorneyÂwe have been working with via LYRASIS is recommending we amendÂour description, and the $700 cost isn't outrageous. But I know the Samvera Board will want me to run this by OASIS first. Do you recommend that we go ahead and continueÂworking with this attorney, or is this something else we should do as a FaaS project? The deadline is in August so it isn't a rush to decide.Thanks!Heather-----Heather Greer Klein (she/her/hers)Samvera Community ManagerWorking from Durham, NC (US Eastern Time Zone)
