On June 1st, Matter Labs tweeted that we are grateful for the opinions and suggestions of Vitalik Buterin, NEAR founder Illia Polosukhin, Hasu and others on how to ensure that key terms such as "ZK" remain freely available and free from abuse. Here are the community proposals that we fully support: 1. Create a legal entity without owners whose sole purpose is to hold trademarks for "ZK" and similar key names. This work must be led by a trusted, impartial and neutral organization or community member; 2. The entity provides free trademark licenses to all; 3. Invite many influential community figures and impartial and neutral organizations to join as guarantors.
Matter Labs promises that it will not file any new trademark applications for ZK. If the application is denied, Matter Labs will not appeal. Matter Labs will never enforce any existing or future ZK trademarks that it owns, except for defensive purposes (i.e. to prevent others from suing us). Matter Labs also pledges to financially support the creation of a community-led TM-holder entity to which it will transfer all applied ZK trademarks.
