           <p>"GNOME" has been a familiar name in software for the past 17 years, and a <a 
href="http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=76368848&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch";>registered 
trademark</a> since 2006. The <a href="https://www.gnome.org/";>GNOME project</a> has been a staple desktop 
for GNU/Linux and BSD desktops. It was the default desktop for Sun Microsystems workstation class machines, 
continues to be the default desktop for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 
distributions, and it is the default desktop of Fedora and Debian. SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service 
solution for the retail industry is based on GNOME. GNOME technology can be found in TVs, tablets, phones, 
consumer devices, and in common software everywhere.</p>
 
-          <p>Recently Groupon announced a product with the same product name as GNOME. Groupon’s product is 
a <a href="http://investor.groupon.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=848707";>tablet based point of sale</a> 
“operating system for merchants to run their entire operation." The GNOME community was shocked that Groupon 
would use our mark for a product so closely related to the GNOME desktop and technology. It was almost 
inconceivable to us that Groupon, with over $2.5 billion in annual revenue, a full legal team and a huge 
engineering staff would not have heard of the GNOME project, found our trademark registration using a casual 
search, or even found our website, but we nevertheless got in touch with them and asked them to pick another 
name. Not only did Groupon refuse, but it has now filed even more trademark applications (the full list of 
applications they filed can be found <a

huge company as they try to trade on our goodwill and hard earned reputation.</p>

           <p>We want to show that our brand matters and that you care. Of the 28 trademark applications 
Groupon filed, we have to file formal proceedings to oppose 10 of them by December 3, 2014. Help us raise the 
funds to fight back and most of all call public attention to this terrible behavior by Groupon. Help us make 
sure that when people hear about GNOME software they learn about freedom and not proprietary software.  Our 
counsel has advised us that we will need $80,000 to oppose the registration of the first set of 10 
applications. If we are able to defend the mark without spending this amount, we will use the remaining funds 
to bolster and improve GNOME. Please help us raise the money to protect GNOME's trademark and strengthen Free 
Software!</p>
