Web 2.0 Service Mark Controversy
Jun 15, 2006
Tim O'Reilly has responded to the many critics of the trademarking of 'Web 2.0' - in fact, he responded a couple weeks ago, but being on the road I only saw it today. As I note in my response, the fact that people are still commenting even today indicates that the response was not satisfactory. I certainly did not find it so. And - I might add - let's be clear that this isn't something O'Reilly invented; here's a usage of the term Web 2.0 from 1999 (thanks Dave). O'Reilly's and CMP's actions consist of nothing more than appropriation for personal gain from the public domain. And should be recognized as such.
