PELock Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Hi, I'm asking here because I can't get an answer at the official contact mail. Is it legal to name software products using "AutoIt" word in it. I saw some 3rd party tools with "AutoIt" word that's why I'm asking. So is it legal to name something e.g.: "AutoIt Extractor" "AutoIt Editor" etc. ?
JohnOne Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Yes. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
PELock Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 Can you say something more? Is there any official document about it?
JohnOne Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 It is not a registered trademark. Xandy 1 AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
PELock Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 I want to name one of my products like this and I don't want to end up with a lawsuit thats's all.
JohnOne Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Lawsuits have very little to do with legality these days. Is your product named so because it is made with AutoIt, or are you trying to gain an association?

PELock Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 It would be an utility for AutoIt static source code analysis.
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 13, 2016 Moderators Posted September 13, 2016 For what purpose? In my experience, static code analysis is generally used for breaking down code to search for vulnerabilities, such as what a WhiteHat would do to find vulnerabilities in a piece of commercial software.

PELock Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 I can't really say right now. Do you have any other information than JohnOne about the issue I was asking about?
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 13, 2016 Moderators Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) You need to say, even if it is in PM, to ensure this is something we are going to be willing to support... I will also point out that you have already been warned against using this site to promote your own payware, so I trust you are intelligent enough not to do so again.

PELock Posted September 14, 2016 Author Posted September 14, 2016 I don't understand why you're talking to me like this. Why should I tell you anything? Who are you? Did I say anything about promoting my software here. I have asked about legal issue and you're asking me non relavant questions. For me it's clear - it's not trademarked, I've checked the TESS database about "AutoIt" entry - nothing there. Thank you @JohnOne for pointing me into the right direction with this.
JohnOne Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 JLogan3o13 is asking you, because he is a moderator of the forum, and his job is too keep threads that are against forum rules, down. Your description could be something to do with reverse engineering AutoIt. No need to be defensive, just be straight.

PELock Posted September 14, 2016 Author Posted September 14, 2016 Nah, don't worry it won't be a decompiler (maybe next time hehe) ;), I don't understand this decompiler paranoia here, why is it so sensitive topic? Decompilers are pretty common for almost every programming technology and by denying their existance - well, you're only fooling yourself.
JohnOne Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I agree, but most decompilers for other languages don't output the complete and original code, and rules are rules.

PELock Posted September 14, 2016 Author Posted September 14, 2016 I have no problem with that. Thank you again for your help.
