We are working on completing and ratifying a trademark policy for the Sugar Labs marks, which are held by the SFC on behalf of SL. This policy will have to be approved by the SFLC before it becomes legally binding; once it does, it will affect the following marks when used in a Sugar Labs context:
* Sugar Learning Platform
* Sugar Learning Platform
* Sugar
* Sugar
==== Current status ====
We currently have '''no ratified trademark policy.''' We have been using [[Sugar_Labs/Governance/Trademark]] as our guide on individual cases in the interim. The current draft of our trademark policy is available at [[Talk:Sugar_Labs/Governance/Trademark#Sugar_Trademark_Policy]].

==== Prior decisions ====
We have passed several trademark-related decisions in the interim that may be affected by our policy ratification decision.
* [[Oversight_Board/Meeting_Minutes-2009-12-18#Resolve_outstanding_Sugar_on_a_Stick_decision_.28Q3.29|MOTION: Yes, "Sugar on a Stick" should be reserved by Sugar Labs for use by the SoaS-Fedora distribution so that Sugar can be marketed effectively, until such time when a trademark policy, agreement, and process is put in place: SoaS will be the first project to go through
that process.]]
* [[Oversight_Board/Meeting_Minutes-2010-01-15#Fedora_use_of_Sugar_Trademark|The upcoming Sugar on a Stick release, which will be a Fedora 13 spin, is approved to use the Sugar on a Stick name.]]
==== References and resources ====
We have been drawing inspiration from how other open source projects have written their trademark policies.
