| <p>Trademark law is a complicated subject, varying by country. Free and open source software projects - often |
| developed by a broad collection of volunteers, and often copied/improved upon or used for services - sometimes |
| struggle with properly using and enforcing their trademarks, especially in the face of sometimes fierce and |
| fast-moving commercial companies looking to profit from this work.</p> |
| <p>Here are a number of <em>external links</em> that you may find useful in learning about trademark law and how trademarks apply to FOSS software like our many Apache software projects.</p> |

| <h2 id="search">Selected Trademark Search Websites<a class="headerlink" href="#search" title="Permalink">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>While many Apache software product names are unregistered trademarks, more and more Apache project |
| communities are choosing to register their product name in the US and/or other countries. These <em>external links</em> |
| are just a few of the sites you might use to search for legally registered trademarks. Pro tip: The <a href="https://www.upcounsel.com/trademark-class-9" target="_blank">Nice Class 9</a> is used |
| for most software-related trademarks.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks-application-process/search-trademark-database">USPTO Trademark Search Database</a> - official |
| US trademark registry. Tip: when copying links about specific registrations/applications, do <strong>not</strong> use the search link you get - copy |
| the "TDSR" blue button link instead. There are many <a href="/foundation/marks/naming#research-registered-trademarks">more USPTO search tips</a>.</li> |
