Editing Trademark

A '''trademark''' is a [[monopoly]] on some [[brand]] or [[product]] name.  It is protected under different laws that have lately become very similar due to [[globalization]].  Claims that activists are [[diluting the trademark]] are a common form of intimidation and harassment.  ''See also [[libel chill]] here.''

One use is to require a [[test suite]] for any product using the trademark.  This requirement is in most [[consortium license]]s.
