Open Group suing Apple over "Unix"
Our Admin, Neo, has some experience with the subject of this news item:
http://news.com.com/2100-1016-1015814.html It appears that The Open Group is suing Apple for using the term Unix without licensing from The Open Group.

that brings up some good points however...the open group's stance is that they charge a "reasonable" fee for registration, certification. aside from saying who can call what UNIX, they set a standard for what actually can be considered UNIX. UNIX, IMO is a pretty generic term, however it wouldnt be so great if some company puts out an OS that they claim is UNIX, but it is entirely not, that is their point i think.

Actually, others are claiming that X/Open is misusing a 'trademark' as a certification mark.
The USTPO has a special class of marks called 'certification marks.' This class of marks are used for certifications, not trademarks, per se. There is a company called INUX that is challenging X/Open on this and other points: www.inux.com See this link at USPTO: http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?r...entry=75680034 For more on certification marks, see this link: http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/howtoapply/certmark.htm |
