"Adobe has trademarked AIR. Yes, according to James Whittaker, creator of the freshAIRapps.com directory, Adobe has delivered a legal letter laying claim to the three-character noun in all its capitalized, Helvetica-bound form. (Or is it set in Gotham type?)\nThe company\u2019s position can be summarized in a single sentence:\n\"You may not incorporate the Adobe AIR trademark, or any other Adobe trademark, in whole or in part, in the title of your Developer Application or in your company name, domain name or the name of a service related to Adobe AIR.\"\nWhittaker has so far capitulated (in word) to Adobe\u2019s demand. While the domain is still active and heads the site as originally produced, Whittaker, barring any unforeseen reversals on Adobe\u2019s part, will be transferring website contents to be held under a new name: RefreshingApps.com.\nAllen Stern of CenterNetworks first signified the frank absurdity of Adobe\u2019s letter pertaining to the freshAIRapps domain, which I second. Adobe may certainly lay claim to its full trademark. But requesting the removal of a domain with AIR alone in its name strikes me as venturing past any reasonable bounds.\nMight Adobe be sensing that the \u201CAIR\u201D graphic within the freshAIRapps as too similar to its own? Or is Adobe hedging its words on the fact that it shows the AIR title with a trademark label independent of the Adobe name? Regardless, a closure of freshAIRapps as it stands today seems unjust. Surely this is not the final word on the matter.\nFreshAIRapps first launched in May, and has since become the go-to website to discover and rate applications built upon the Adobe AIR platform."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
