Hi Lucas and IP-Team,

We need to secure the trademark for the project name.

Name: Eclipse RedOx
Short name (id): tools.redox
Project proposal: https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-redox-eclipse-ide-rust

Lucas, if the name of your project has been used by you or your company, and/or if there are any Domain names associated with this project, please complete the Trademark and Domain Name Transfer Agreement [1] and send us a scanned copy.

IP-Team, please initiate a trademark search/transfer for RedOx.

Thanks,

Kasandra

> Lucas, if the name of your project has been used by you or your company

The redOx name wasn't used nor registered as a trademark by us, however it appears to be trademarked by someone else: https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark?id=0525676&lang=eng&tab=reg. Will this require a name change?

The Eclipse Foundation values its Intellectual Property and respects the rights of other Intellectual Property holders. For this reason, a trademark search is performed prior to accepting any new project name. This safeguard is in place to protect all parties.

Unfortunately, our search results indicate a high risk of trademark infringement associated with using the proposed project name. As a result, we ask that you provide up to three new project names, in order of preference, and we will initiate a new search.

Thank you,
Sharon

Turns out https://sourceforge.net/projects/redlandside/ has beat us to the name. Replacing this nomination with:
 Eclipse iROn (R logo of Rust + O of Eclipse IDE logo)

FYI: There is a Rust web framework already named iron (https://github.com/iron/iron). Maybe do a search on crates.io for the names you are considering. But I think all names of metals in the periodic table are already taken (not even only corroding metals) in the Rust community ;) 
Maybe research some names of alloys.

Hi Sharon,

Is there any progress or timeline on the validation of the proposed new names?
