REPORT: Trademark Abuse #431
Comments
Wow, they're not even using LibreSpeed itself 😆 @maddie do you know what would be the best way to deal with this? |
Haven't found anything on the Chinese trademark registration bureau about them, and I doubt that they will give a sh*t about our complaints.😂 |
We could send an email to their registrar, maybe if it's in chinese they'll read it? wink wink I really should have the trademark registered though before someone tries to take over the project in that way. I'll see how much it costs. |

So it seems they actually do have filed the trademark registrations in three categories: Those three categories include the use in computer software, advertising, commercial use, computer software/hardware design and development. I'm not sure how patents work across countries, and I think it's very likely that they won't respond to our complaints since we don't have a registration record prior to theirs. |
I have no idea how it works across countries. If the problem stays in china I don't really care, I just don't want this project to end up like freenode. |
They can't take over the project / the code. They just use the name.
Why should that happen? Others can use the name LibreSpeed, but that's it. They cannot do any kind of take over. |
@Perflyst I think that may be a bit optimistic. |
I could be wrong, but maybe it's not a trademark registration? |
