Tuotemerkki ei ole muuten sama asia kuin patentti. Muistakaapa tämä.
"While trademarks are often lumped together with copyrights and patents—under the poorly termed "intellectual property" umbrella—trademarks are quite different. One of those differences is that a trademark must be actively enforced, at least under US law, or the mark holder risks losing it. The Fedora community is currently discussing a license to allow community members to use the Fedora trademarks, while still protecting Red Hat's ability to defend the mark against those who would misuse it. But, requiring a signed license agreement in order for a community web site to use Fedora trademarks—on the site or in the domain name—seems heavy-handed to some. "

Tuotemerkki tarkoittaa samaa kuin nimisuoja, toisinsanoen et voi ottaa käyttöön toisen jo rekisteröimää nimeä tai brändiä. Eli mikkis ei nyt saa varastettua Fedora-nimeä itselleen koska se on jo varattu. Hyvä niin.
