Launching CollabMark Project to Hack Trademarks for Free Culture

[Posted December 13, 2014 by n8willis]

Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society (CIS) has announced a project named CollabMark designed to "provide information about how open source and free culture communities can use trademarks." Specifically, the project "seeks to offer some strategies to collaborative communities, including a Collaborative Mark Policy that they can adopt to protect their name and logo in an open way" until, the announcement says, "trademark law evolves to accommodate collaborative work".
