Hi all,

Since a few months I'm working on a project to create a javascript framework based on extended tool kit.

My goal is to provide a lot of usables class to work with InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge ...

I know that a framework called "Extendable" already exist. But I contacted the author and He doesn't keep this framework up to date.

But my idea is quite diffrente becouse I will create new class to use indesign and photoshop togheter...

My question:

Can I use this name in my website: JLFA (Javascript Library For Adobe)

Or it's not allowed?

In advance, thanks for your reply.

Have a nice day.

@Bastien – How about  "ESOL" for "ExtendScript Objects Library"?

Does the following links speak against that? :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESOL

http://www.esol.com

"ESL" was my first thought, but:

http://www.esl.eu

(And there could be connotations to the German "Esel", of course ;-) )

JLFA would be similar to JFLA which could point mistakenly to Flash (FLA)…


Drop "Adobe" altogether. Dirk already mentioned the problem…

See http://www.adobe.com/legal/permissions/trademarks.html

As I read it (I am not a lawyer) your "for Adobe" might stretch point 2.4 a bit, you better use a product name.

"For Adobe" is, like, "for a computer". The targeted applications already have an all-encompassing label: "Creative Suite".

You might want to add the proper version number to that as well, as it makes quite a difference whether you target "CS" or "CS6"/"CC" -- if only because the original "CS" was a 'Suite' mostly only in name.
