[REPORT] Apache ActiveMQ - April 2013
TLP Description:
Apache ActiveMQ is a popular and powerful open source messaging server.
Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many Cross Language Clients and
Protocols, comes with easy to use Enterprise Integration Patterns and many
advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4.
Community:
* The development and user lists continue to stay active.
Development:
* Migration to svnpubsub was completed.
* Development on ActiveMQ 5.9 is underway
Trademark / Branding Status:
* The activemq.org and activemq.com TLD's are owned by other entities
* Need to investiate if we should be using (R) instead of (TM) for the
ActiveMQ mark
* Sub-projects need to be reviewed to make sure they are also compliant
* Documentation and readme files will also be reviewed for compliance
Releases:
* Apache ActiveMQ-CPP 3.6.0 (Mar 7/2013)
* Apache Apollo 1.6 (Feb 25/2013)

I think the organization doesn't normally do the registration with the USPTO, although I think they might have done it for a few in the past. This may be a board question as I don't really know. Just my thought from seeing different trademark emails go by over the years.

According the the USPTO, it was owned by LogicBlaze, but the trademark was never renewed and its considered "Dead", which means its up for grabs. If you want to get it officially registered, you may reclaim it and its a 10 week to 6 month process. The cost is about $300 if you do it pro-se, but you need to have your ducks in a row if you do it without a lawyer. You can use ™ since it means its an unregistered trademark and Apache certainly owns it via common law.

Thanks for the clarification Jeff! Does the ASF do the registered
trademark think for it's other projects?

Hi Hiram,
I can help answer the trademark issue.
You aren't supposed to use ® unless the trademark is officially registered with the USPTO. According the the USPTO, it was owned by LogicBlaze, but the trademark was never renewed and its considered "Dead", which means its up for grabs. If you want to get it officially registered, you may reclaim it and its a 10 week to 6 month process. The cost is about $300 if you do it pro-se, but you need to have your ducks in a row if you do it without a lawyer. You can use ™ since it means its an unregistered trademark and Apache certainly owns it via common law.
IANAL (obviously), but I went through some of this last year in securing a trademark for my company. It ended up costing me about $350.00 pro-se (had to pay $50 fee because I missed a thing or two from a legal perspective and had to refile).
