Nice to catch up today on the MicroProfile Working Group Trademark and Compatibility Program and its progress. As mentioned, I was attending for a colleague away on vacation; and as such, there are a couple of issues we need to come back to (see document).
That said, I’d like to provide the following:
The Eclipse Foundation has commenced work on the Program for the Working Group including license agreement creation, etc. (more specifics to be provided at the next meeting)
The Eclipse Foundation has taken necessary steps to protect the MicroProfile trademark as a Working Group (filings in progress).
The Eclipse Foundation has taken necessary steps to protect the MicroProfile Logo Design which lends itself well to broaden the scope to protect the compatibility logo when it is finalized by the Working Group (filings in progress).
The Eclipse Foundation intends to provide financial reporting after the close of Q3 (September) which will identify spend to date for the working group.
ETA column has been added to the Program Creation Spreadsheet to ensure dates are added to drive necessary timelines (goals) in line with Program Plan objectives for 2021.
Hope this is helpful for broader readers (membership and community).
Thanks,
Sharon
