I think we would be crazy not to register wikipedia. So much effort has gone into this project and the copyright/patent/trademark laws right now seem to be strange at best, and almost random. I think by not registering wikipedia we are taking a risk. ~seanchilders

So what about registering Wikipedia (and also Wikimedia?) as a trademark? I think we can afford it now, and I also think it's important enough to do it. But in which countries? Maybe in those where the languages of the biggest five or ten Wikipedias are spoken?
If there is no reaction I consider this as approval and will organize the registration for Germany. It costs 300 Euro and lasts for 10 years.
