Professional Land Surveyor News: Autodesk and Open Design Alliance Reach Agreement for Autodesk DWG Trademarks
On Friday, April 9, 2010, Autodesk and the Open Design Alliance (ODA) made an announcement to settle their pending Autodesk DWG Trademark disputes. Autodesk had started proceedings to cancel the ODA’s DWG-based trademark registrations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) in 2007. Autodesk claimed that this was to avoid confusion with Autodesk’s established DWG brand and trademark.
