[jira] [Created] (MRQL-11) Establish whether "Apache MRQL" is a suitable name

["Leonidas Fegaras (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Leonidas Fegaras created MRQL-11:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Establish whether "Apache MRQL" is a suitable name
                 Key: MRQL-11
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRQL-11
             Project: MRQL
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Leonidas Fegaras
            Assignee: Leonidas Fegaras


The US and EU trademark searches, and the Google search, suggest that the project name MRQL does not conflict with a previously registered trademark. More specifically,

1) I checked USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) at 
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp
using the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) for a  registered trademark. The term I used was MRQL, meaning that "MRQL" could appear by itself, or as a prefix or suffix to another trademark (by searching "*MRQL*"). The search was performed for live and dead terms, for for all fields: owner name and address, serial number, and combined word mark. No matches were found. The lack of matches means that the USPTO has no records of MRQL as a trademark.

2) I searched the EU Office for Harmonization of the Internal Market (OHIM), at the Community Trademark Online database (CTM-ONLINE)
http://oami.europa.eu/ows/rw/pages/QPLUS/databases/searchCTM.en.do
and found 0 trade marks.

3) I did a web search on google for "MRQL". From the 100 first hits, all those links that do not refer to the MRQL project (pre-Apache or the incubating), do not refer to any other project or product. 

Is there any other place I should check?
