For reference, here's the text of a basic trademark complaint for name and
logo misuse. Please contact me (wseltzer at torproject) if you see a likely
infringement, and do not file such issues in trac.
[trademark statement]
The Tor Project, Inc. has a U.S. trademark registration, Registration
Number 3,465,432, for the mark "Tor" for computer software for anonymous
Internet browsing. The Tor Onion Logo is U.S. Trademark Registration
Number 3,465,433.
Further, The Tor Project, Inc. has common law usage rights in the U.S. and
other jurisdictions, based on the software produced and distributed at
https://www.torproject.org/
The app calling itself [appname] and using the Tor Onion Logo is not
produced or authorized by The Tor Project, Inc., and is likely to cause
consumer confusion about the source and qualities of the app.
