	In the process of renaming XBMC Media Center to Kodi (media center/entertainment center/something, or simply just as "Kodi"), the XBMC Foundation decided to also submit the name and other branding marks (i.e., logos, images) for formal trademark registration in the United States, and informally claim trademarks in various other countries, when applicable. There are a few reasons for using formal trademark registration, such as preventing people from associating the project with bootleg video services and other undesirable situations.
