I don’t understand why the Foundation should not pursue ownership of the trademark in the near future. Surely this conflicts with the idea of allowing the community to decide on the direction of Zcash? If the Company maintains control of the trademark, then it means that the Company has the final say on what “Zcash” means.
It seems to me that one of the main purposes of creating the Foundation (as a nonprofit) was to eventually take control of the Zcash name and become a steward of the Zcash protocol, as per the Foundation’s mission statement, making sure it remains open and accessible to all.
