Sarajevo. There, sue me for infringement.
Of course this is not the way it works. I can mention Décathlon and Microsoft even though they are registered trademarks. I can post a picture of the Apple logo when illustrating Apple stuff.
There are things I cannot do (like using them as if they were mine) but mentioning the name is not a problem.
So Sarajevo FTW.
As a side note about the requests from the city of Sarajevo (sorry) to pay for the use of the city : they certainly should protect misuse (false documents for instance) and possibly (though I disagree) commercial use of the name. This is quite common, though enforced to various degrees (usually not, after a few cases which went wrong, for instance in Krakow, Poland).
Fair use will prevail, though this is a real pity we need to come to that

- icebraining 9y agoExcept this is not trademark law, so there's no "fair use" unless it specifies so.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoYes, they set a local law but still try to enforce it abroad (by requesting things with Facebook). They could go the trademark way (which then may be enforceable in a commercial context) and would be subject to fair use.
- incompatible 9y agoIf they've written some wacky clause into the law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it isn't going to affect you unless you live in that country. I assume they can't extradite you over it. Edit: You wouldn't want to visit that country, naturally, after flouting their laws like that.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoI will have that in mind :)
