Python Software Foundation Reaches Settlement, Ends Trademark Dispute
[Announcements] Posted Mar 18, 2013 21:27 UTC (Mon) by ris

The Python Software Foundation has reached a settlement in its trademark dispute with PO Box Hosting Limited trading as Veber in Europe. "The issue centered around Veber's use of the Python name for their cloud hosting services and their application for a figurative trademark incorporating the word "Python". While the Foundation retains the trademark for Python within the United States, it did not have a filing within the European Union. According to the terms of the settlement, Veber has withdrawn its trademark filing and has agreed to support the Python Software Foundation's use of the term."
