Name appropriateness search
I've been searching for instances of the name 'Allura' in the wild, and the only thing even vaguely technology related that I've found is that there's a free font called Allura, and a medical XRay system from the Philips corporation.
I'm not able to find any reason that we'd be unable to use the name.
Ross, Greg or Jim, what is the sign-off procedure on this? Is there a more "legal" way to conduct a search of this nature than exhaustive Google searches?

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4006:28k5tu.2.31 - Abandoned - Computer training. Vaguely related, but abandoned. I don't know what "Abandoned" means. Can someone thats done this before give me some insight?
Other than that, there's a lot of clothing and medical stuff, but nothing in the space of software or computers.
I'd like to declare this task complete.

Gah! I'm sorry, you pointed me to that before.
I'll follow that template.

There are some JIRA tickets that other podlings have used, that seem to follow a
template. They seem to be mostly web, patent, trademark, etc searches. I don't
know if we have to use a PODLINGNAMESEARCH ticket, but it seems like a good
precedent. Examples:

These are patents that contain 'Allura'
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=Allura&FIELD1=&co1=AND&TERM2=&FIELD2=&d=PTXT
It appears that Allura is the name of a color of red, so it shows up a lot for that.
I found 43 trademarks on 'Allura' - http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=4006%3A28k5tu.1.1&p_search=searchss&p_L=50&BackReference=&p_plural=yes&p_s_PARA1=&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA1%24LD&expr=PARA1+AND+PARA2&p_s_PARA2=Allura&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA2%24COMB&p_op_ALL=AND&a_default=search&a_search=Submit+Query&a_search=Submit+Query - and I'm working through them.
