Possible Apache Cocoon trademark violation
Hi,
I thought I should tell you about this...
A home 3D printer, the "Cocoon Create" is on the market in Australia. The
product is described on their website here: http://www.cocooncreate.com.au
. It's distributed by a company called Winplus, and it was available at
Aldi supermarkets last week.
To my mind the style of the Cocoon Create logo is very similar to that of
the Apache Cocoon project. The "Cocoon" word is fairly generic and I doubt
you'd object to its use for a product that's not connected with Apache
Cocoon. The visual style is another matter. If the Project Management
Committee agrees, I suggest you ask Winplus to change the appearance of
their logo.
Regards
Paul Foxworthy

Well, what relates to Cocoon, I have found a brand new baby called Cocoon:
https://cocoon.io/
Shall we not protect Apache Cocoon (R) (TM) ? :)
