Protecting the Python Trademarks

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has created a Trademark Work Group to monitor, authorize and prohibit the use of their trademarked material, and the group welcomes members interested in helping to maintain the brand.

The PSF has a liberal policy around the use of the name 'Python' and the wordmark 'PyCon' but does require interested parties to write in for use of the trademark in non-nominative ways.

The PSF holds registered trademarks in multiple jurisdictions and maintains the Python wordmark as a signature seal of the Python programming language. While the PSF does not endorse copyright as a trademark policy, they believe trademark helps to protect the community's authenticity from malicious actors.
