Odaily Planet Daily News Matter Labs posted on the X platform: "We are grateful for the comments and suggestions from Vitalik Buterin, NEAR founder Illia Polosukhin, Aave founder Stani Kulechov, Hasu and others on how to ensure that key terms such as 'ZK' remain freely available and free from abuse. The following is a community proposal that we fully support: 1. Establish a legal entity without an owner, 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 everyone; 3. A number of influential community figures and impartial and neutral organizations will be invited to join as guarantors. Matter Labs promises: 1. No new trademark applications will be filed for ZK. If the application is rejected, Matter Labs will not appeal; Matter Labs will never enforce any existing or future ZK trademarks it owns, except for defensive purposes (i.e. to prevent others from suing us); 2. Will financially support the creation of a community-led trademark holder (TM-holder) entity; 3. Will immediately transfer all registered ZK trademarks to this entity. We ask the community to help create this new model and establish the most efficient structure for everyone. Everyone in the Ethereum and ZK communities is invited to join and contribute to this work. " Earlier, Matter Labs posted on the X platform that it had applied for trademarks related to ZK to ensure that the word "ZK" can be used freely in the context of related names such as "ZK Sync" and "ZK Stack". It also stated that trademarks are the only legal tool currently available.
