[23:12]	schestowitz	[safe to publish now:]
[23:12]	schestowitz	You do a huge amount of work so I'll save you the trouble of reading the
[23:12]	schestowitz	567 pages of PDF
[23:13]	schestowitz	The WIPO deadline is 13 June
[23:13]	schestowitz	On 8 June, the Swiss trademark office granted the trademark "Debian" to
[23:13]	schestowitz	the Software Freedom Institute.  I did that right under their noses.
[23:13]	schestowitz	Debian paid $4,000 to WIPO and who knows what for the lawyer, probably
[23:13]	schestowitz	not less than GBP 10k.  Their claim makes assertions about their rights
[23:13]	schestowitz	in the US and EU but the Swiss trademark system is not in the EU.  It
[23:13]	schestowitz	seems their expensive lawyer didn't realize that.
[23:13]	schestowitz	I paid CHF 950 to the Swiss trademark office
[23:13]	schestowitz	Lucky I read Techrights, thank you
[23:13]	schestowitz	Please don't say anything yet, watch to see if they notice it first.  If
[23:13]	schestowitz	they are really stupid the lawyer will read the whole document from
[23:13]	schestowitz	start to finish, charge them for the hours and then tell them the bad news.
[23:13]	schestowitz	There is a whole bunch of stuff there that could torpedo their US
[23:13]	schestowitz	trademark and their reputation at the same time.
[23:13]	schestowitz	If you want you can join the Debian Swiss online AGM, it is today,
[23:13]	schestowitz	Sunday afternoon, it could be an interesting Techrights video if you
[23:13]	schestowitz	jump in and tell them who owns the Debian trademark now
