[opensuse-marketing] inappropriate use of (open)SUSE logo in Mexico
Hi there, So, there is a Mexican Company (textil) that is using the openSUSE Logo, they has been registered the logo to the mexican intelectual property institute as their trade mark. Here there is the webpage: http://chamy.mx/index.html and the Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ChamybyDesign I'm wondering if SUSE de Mexico (where I use to work) has any issue about it. Anyway, I don't think that this kind of ripoff has to be allowed.

Many thanks for highlighting this issue. The Board has already been notified about this infraction on openSUSE's Trademark, and the legal team are taking action. Unfortunately the process can take some time even when it is obvious.

As Andy mentioned Legal is investigating, but it does take time. In the mean time, if the shirts are of high quality perhaps they are of more benefit than harm; spreading our logo ;-)

They can release the patterns under GPL and we can hire seamstresses to create 'open-attire'. ;) On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 11:00 AM, Manu Gupta <manugupt1@opensuse.org> wrote:

I like that! I mean the problem is not the use of openSUSE logo, the problem is that they register as his own "Intellectual Property" on the Mexican Institute of Intellectual Property ( http://www.impi.gob.mx/ ) :-/ On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 12:39 PM, Roger Luedecke <roger.luedecke@gmail.com> wrote:

Just let the lawyers handle this. It's not something we can or even should try to influence... Heck, it's boring, why would you want to ;-)
