trademark is used to allow the consumers not to be fooled about the quality of a product. By placing a trademark very similar to the Paramount Pictures one in a DVD of another company, the consumers could potentially be fooled. Thus it would potentially be a trademark violation. By doing it in Inkscape, which is something from a totally distinct field, cannot fool anybody, so there is no problem in making such a reference.<br>
<br>Also, Trademarks are enforceable only in their specific fields of the market. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 2:50 AM, Bernard Gray <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:bernard.gray@...5...">bernard.gray@...5...</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
