Description

There is a lengthy legal process to register the NixOS trademark.

What's the process?

  • Eelco, Ron and Armijn have interviewed multiple trademark registering teams and began engagement
  • We've worked with the trademark team based on their guidance to define the wording of it.
  • Define what we are registering : Nix + logo
  • Initiate registration process and pay fees for each country (each registration process will take 3 - 6 months)
    in EU € 1850,00
    in UK € 950,00
    in US € 1990,00
  • Work across the community to define the trademark policy based on issue https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/36
