UK Trademark issue with "Python"

 

The Python Software Foundation, maintainers of the IP behind the Python
language, are currently fighting a trademark claim against a company in the
UK that is trying to trademark the use of the term "Python" for all
software, services, and servers apparently as part of branding their cloud
service. If you work for a company with an office in an EU Community member
state, the PSF would appreciate your help documenting the community's prior
claim to the name "Python". For details about where to send supporting
evidence, please see the PSF blog post [1].

Thanks,
Doug
