Micronaut® Trademark Policy

Micronaut® is a project of the Commonhaus Foundation. The word “Micronaut®” and all Micronaut logos, trade dress, images, and designs are governed by the Commonhaus Foundation trademark policy; Micronaut is used by permission while the project is onboarding with the foundation.

Trademarks protect not only the rights of those that own the marks, but also the community that relies on and uses the product or service, such as the Micronaut framework and its underlying open source software. Trademarks and brand standards provide community members confidence in the quality and capabilities represented by the Micronaut brand.

The Commonhaus Foundation Trademark Policy describes the purpose of trademarks and establishes how and when you may use the Micronaut trademarks. In doing so, it balances two competing interests:

  1. The need to ensure the Micronaut trademarks remain reliable indicators of their quality and origin; and
  2. The desire to foster use, engagement, innovation, and appropriate governance where the Micronaut framework is being used or referenced.
