CWA trademark usage for compatibility indication

[raphaelm]

Hi!

I hope this is a good place to ask this since this repo promotes the integration of event-qr-code generation into third-party applications for people who host lots of events.

The QR code generation integrated in the Android app creates a printable version including the logos of CWA and the Bundesregierung.

If QR codes are integrated by a third-party application, is would be desireable to use the CWA logo as well to show people quickly that it's a CWA-compatible QR code.

The README makes clear that the CWA logo is not covered by the open source license, but is a trademark of the Bundesregierung. Would such usage considered to be okay? Is the press office linked in the README really the correct point of contact if this repo isn't?

@raphaelm does that link help you already? I'm afraid a more specific answer may take some time...

It's a start :)

@raphaelm

Do you need any more information? The link I provided says: "All materials are at your disposal for unrestricted use."

So, you can definitely use the CWA trademark in third party integrations. This was your question, wasn't it?

@dsarkar What's the status of the internal ticket here? I think the link I provided above answers the question, doesn't it?
