	Trademark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If trademark owners do not hold registrations for their marks in such jurisdictions, the extent to which they will be able to enforce their rights through trademark infringement proceedings will therefore be limited.
		The proper use of a trademark means using the mark as an adjective, not as a noun or a verb [1] [2] [3], though for certain trademarks, use as nouns and, less commonly, verbs is common.
		Trademark law is designed to fulfill the public policy objective of consumer protection, by preventing the public from being misled as to the origin or quality of a product or service.

	Trademark Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com
		Though trademark law is generally focused on the need for consumer protection, in many jurisdictions the concept of dilution has developed to protect trademarks as a property right, securing the investment the trademark owner has made in establishing and promoting a strong mark.
		Such trademarks would include instantly recognizeable brand names, such as Coca-Cola, or Sony, and unique terms that were invented (such as Exxon) rather than surnames (such as Ford) or ordinary words in language are also likely to get the strongest dilution protection.
		Unlike patents and copyrights, which in theory are granted for one-off fixed terms, trademarks remain valid as long as the owner actively uses and defends them and maintains their registrations with their jurisdiction's trademark registry.

	Trademark - Simple English Wikipedia
		A trademark can be a name, word, phrase, symbol, logo, design, or picture.
		The business tells the government of its country that it wants to use the special trademark for the thing it makes, and then the government says that no one else can use that trademark.
		When people write a word that is a trademark or show a picture or symbol that is a trademark, they should say that it is a trademark.

	Patent Application Process and Trademarks - Intellectual Property Protection and Trademark Law
		In addition, if at any time the trademark becomes the generic term for the good, the trademark hasn't been used, the registration was fraudulent, or the trademark owner is using the trademark to misrepresent the source of the goods or services with which the trademark is used, any person may petition to cancel the trademark.
		If the state trademark owner does contest the registration of the federal trademark, the federal trademark can still be approved in certain circumstances (e.g.--there may be a geographical limitation placed on the use of the trademark).
		Unlike trademarks, which an owner uses to indicate source or to distinguish her goods and services from other good and services, certification marks aren't used by the owner of the mark and they only indicate that the owner certifies the goods.

	Genericized Trademark Passage @ ArtQuilt.com (Art Quilt) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		If a trademark is associated with a new invention, the trademark owner may also consider developing a generic term for the product to be used in descriptive contexts, in order to avoid inappropriate use of the "house" mark.
		Where a trademark is used generically a trademark owner may need to take special proactive measures in order to retain exclusive rights to the trademark.
		Although a geographical indication for specialty food or drink may be generic, a geographical indication is not a trademark because it does not serve to exclusively identify a specific commercial enterprise, and therefore cannot constitute a genericized trademark.

	Trademark FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A Trademark is either a word, phrase, symbol or design, or combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, which identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods or services of one party from those of others.
		Another means of losing trademark rights occurs when the trademark becomes so identified with the particular, precise goods to the point where the mark loses its distinctiveness and instead becomes a generic descriptive term.
		A Foreign Trademark Registration is generally acquired on a country-by-country basis, and trademarks registered in foreign countries do not affect your registration of the mark in the United States.

	Suspicions fade over Linux trademark move: ZDNet Australia: News: Software
		LA's president Jon Oxer acknowledged there had initially been some suspicion about the legitimacy of the letters and pointed worried community members to his recent blog entry on the subject.
		"The e-mail is part of the process that LMI (Linux Mark Institute) has been undertaking to secure the trademark to the word 'Linux'.", he wrote, pointing out the institute was acting on behalf of Linus Torvalds and was cooperating with LA to register the trademark locally.
		In general the community appears support the need for a locally registered Linux trademark, with Oxer saying Malcolm had told the Linux Australia governing committee on Tuesday night most people had responded very positively to the initiative.
