”DROID“涉及版权侵权?

今天读到一个很有意思的消息。

Droidcon 是德国一个android组织,近期活动是五月份在柏林办了一次关于android的大会,以后可能还会一直办下去。OpenIntent是个开源组织,好象是和Droidco有合作关系。他们最近收到了来自Lucasfilm,一个电影公司(制作了Indian Jones, Star Wars)的警告信,说 "DROIDS" 以及相关的单词比如 "iDroids" 和"iDroidsMania" 在欧洲是注册商标,而Droidcon大会这个名字则侵权了。

这下这帮组织者头大了,他们想庭外和解,但是结果好象不明,他们试图向Lucasfilm解释Android的由来,而对方充耳不闻。他们抱怨说,如果Lucasfilm执意追究所有android的命名,那么所有的android开发人员和公司都可能遇到问题。

这个的确让人很无语。

Last week, OpenIntents and the droidcon organization team received a cease and desist letter from Lucasfilm (Indian Jones, Star Wars, etc.) because we used "droidcon" for the Android conference in Germany. Lucasfilm claims "DROIDS" and variations as well as "iDroids" and "iDroidsMania" as trademarks in Europe.

We try to find a settlement out of court but the outcome is not clear. We only refer to Android and do not have anything to do with Star Wars. If Lucasfilm wants to stop all Android developers and companies to use the abbreviation droid we are in trouble. Please wish us luck!
