Prime example - Delta Airlines and Delta Faucet. There is only a trademark conflict when the parties cannot agree on how each party uses the trademarked term. Another example: Apple Computer and The Beatles' record label called Apple - Only when Steve Jobs decided to go the music biz with iTunes was there 'major' problems, even then they still worked things out to keep the brand recognition - which OpenSER has just finally started getting and has now totally lost with this ludicrous name change. I'm not fond of how Digium changed Zaptel to DAHDI either, but they spent many years fighting it - certainly no knee jerk reaction there. Also, what inelectual property does "OpenSER" have? As far as I know, "OpenSER" is all freely available and open source, so where is the conflict? With Digium and Zaptel there is very significant IP (and i'm not talking internet addresses :) Yes, a public disclosure of the request should have been made - surely somebody has prior art (What about SER? Did they get the same request?) Jeremy McNamara P.S. I am not a lawyer, but I should become one :)
