Autodesk to (finally) Trademark DWG?

Evan Yares (head dude at Open Design Alliance) shares a fascinating story of how “all of the sudden” Autodesk is looking to trademark DWG. That’s right, all the years we’ve been using DWGs and the term DWG, Autodesk did not have legal ownership of the term. Yares points out some, well, oddities in the applications as well as raising the general question about trademarks, etc. He’s also very clear that his organization is in direct violation with the existing (since March) trademark guidance on the Autodesk website. I suspect we at Directions Media are too.
