Why has Gruber never registered, claimed or enforced a trademark before? I suppose this is the mess that can happen when you don't register or at least publically claim your marks.

- e12e 12y agoRight, so in order to register a trademark that is valid for the whole web, you'd need to file an international trademark following "the Madrid" protocol (eg:[1]). I quote: "Processing time in each country may vary, but is not normally longer than 18 months. The reason for this is that the regulations regarding the Madrid Protocol stipulate that national authorities have only 18 months in which to refuse registration." Sounds like a lot of bureaucracy just to avoid having others dilute a simple technology concept like "a certain flavour of plain-text markup".
