David says:
The service mark is for Web 2.0 for arranging and conducting live events, namely trade shows, expositions, business conferences… and many other similar activities (workshops, tutorials, courses and etc).
One could argue that the expression Web 2.0 is in public domain and that any trade/service mark applications should be declined (just as an application for “Boat conference” would be).
There is also the issue of Web 2.0 prior art; O’Reilly did not coin the term, there is at least one reference to older usage.
