Trademark

FatScript® is a registered trademark

Registration

The FatScript name and logo are registered with INPI-BR (Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, the Brazilian patent and trademark office):

Trademark and open source

The trademark protects the name and visual identity of the language, not the code: the fry interpreter remains free software under the LGPL-3.0 license, and this documentation remains available under the GPLv3 license.

The purpose of the registration is to ensure that the language keeps its name and identity over time, and that they cannot be appropriated by any other institution - while the project continues to be open source and community-friendly.

Permitted uses

You do not need permission to make nominative use of the FatScript name, such as:

• referring to the language in articles, tutorials, courses, books and talks
• naming tools, packages or extensions that target the language, e.g. fatscript-mode, vim-fatscript
• stating compatibility, e.g. "written in FatScript" or "works with FatScript"

Uses that require permission

The following uses are not allowed without prior written authorization from the trademark holder:

• using the FatScript name or logo as the brand of your own product, service or company
• suggesting official endorsement of, or affiliation with, the FatScript project
• registering trademarks, domains or names confusingly similar to FatScript
• distributing modified versions (forks) of the language or interpreter under the FatScript name - forks are welcome under the terms of the open-source licenses, but must adopt a different name

The ® symbol

The FatScript® mark is registered in Brazil, and the ® symbol is used in the official materials of the project.
