Historically the OSMF has had a laisser faire policy on the use of trademarks and similar intellectual property and exclusive rights (for example company names), however this implies that in a worst case scenario the community could be stopped from using the OpenStreetMap name and essentially locked out from certain markets. As a safety precaution we therefore need to require that such rights be returned to the OSMF in the case that a chapter ceases to esist as such.
=== Applying to become a local chapter ===
If your organization is interested in becoming a local chapter, first review the [[#What_are_the_minimum_requirements_for_a_Chapter.3F|minimum requirements]]. Then send the information and documents in the [[Application_documents|application documents list]] to secretary at osmfoundation.org.
