Update on Continued Trademark Actions Against the PostgreSQL Community
The PostgreSQL Community Association (PGCA, aka the PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada) wishes to provide guidance on the use of an infringing trademark on what is claimed to be a PostgreSQL community event. The event in question is hosted by Fundación PostgreSQL, which is still defending the registration of a trademark confusingly similar to the PostgreSQL community’s trademark registrations.
The PostgreSQL community has guidelines on running a “community event,” which help organizers provide a consistent, positive experience across all PostgreSQL events. PostgreSQL events that follow the community guidelines are allowed to use the PostgreSQL trademarks following the terms of the PostgreSQL trademark policy.
