Tom Raftery a well know blogger,podcaster and organizer of Web 2.0 conference had issues with CMP Media/O Reilly. The question is who owns Web 2.0, in my opinion it belongs to the company who trademarked it. I completey agree with Tim , if you read his post carefully you will understand CMP/O Reilly doesn’t own web 2.0 term, but the only condition you can’t name a conference or a event as Web 2.0.
Just to be clear, neither CMP or O’Reilly is claiming the right to all use of the term Web 2.0, as some of the posters assert. We just want to keep other conference companies from putting on events that trade on the name and concept that we created. And don’t tell me it’s not possible to have a Web 2.0-related conference without using Web 2.0 in the name! Microsoft’s Mix 06, Google’s Zeitgeist, the Ajax Experience — these are all web 2.0-related conferences that don’t use the name.
