WordPress Foundation has suffered failure to try to protect the expressions of “managed WordPress” and “Hosted WordPress”, which could allow them to require licensing fees for their use. The organization called Non -Vestio.org has published documents showing that she has successfully begged the US patent office to reject trademarks.
Website of theprotected.org published::
“We have successfully submitted a request to the US Patenta and Protective Office (USPTO) against both protective requirements for” managed WordPress “and” Host WordPress “.
Then quoted the Patent Office of the United States decision::
“The applicant must be renounced by the” managed “formulation, because it only describes the ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose or use of goods and applicant services.
… This text appears in the identification of goods and services. Thus, the text only describes the goods and services of the applicant because the applicant provides the content management software on the site. “
The next steps
The WordPress Foundation has three months to submit an answer, according to the documentation:
“Deadline for an answer. Send a response to this non -financial action of the Office within three months of the “issuing date” below to avoid abandonment of the application. “
Register He quoted the owner of the unprotected.org:
“This represents a great victory for a WordPress ecosystem and we will continue to fight until responsibility and changes in leadership occur …”
They continued to promote Joost de Valk as a new leader. Joost de Valka himself has to promote the idea of changing the structure of the opening of the WordPress Open Code, and Matt Mullenweg still plays a role.
