[PODLINGNAMESEARCH] Tempo - will there be issues using this name?

[Hadrian Zbarcea <hz...@gmail.com>]

This is an issue for trademarks actually. For the reason Tony described 
I assume the podling should look for a more suitable name.

Advice appreciated.

The most interesting one that emerged and that is directly related to this technology space was a Chicago based start-up called TempoIQ see https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tempo#/entity <https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tempo#/entity>. It would be good to get the Apache Legal team perspective on this. I didn’t do an International search on the name yet but will do so if needed.

Thanks.  The ASF has slightly different criteria for a name search than
most software vendors, so this bears discussion.

If someone could forward brief details of the proposed podling, what
company is donating it, and any other name search details to the
privately-archived trademarks@apache.org mailing list then we can look
into it.

In particular, if the donating company is willing to do a more thorough
name search with their counsel and send us the results at
trademarks@apache.org, that is immensely helpful to us as a non-profit.
