[jira] [Commented] (PODLINGNAMESEARCH-32) Establish whether "Apache MRQL" is a suitable name

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-32?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13680670#comment-13680670 ] 

Leonidas Fegaras commented on PODLINGNAMESEARCH-32:
---------------------------------------------------

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 all fields: owner name and address, serial number, and combined word mark. No matches were found.

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 first 100 hits, all those links that do not refer to this MRQL project (pre-Apache or the incubating one), do not refer to any other project or product. 

Is there any other place I should check?
