<td>A United States Trademark Search shows that there are a number of wordmark trademarks for
COMET in computer software, but none conflict with the scope of the Apache Arrow DataFusion
Comet project.

There are a few that mention data analytics, but in the context of analyzing specific types
of data (e.g. education data and website analytics) as part of a hosted service, and none of
them are related to building a Spark native engine.

@alamb I'm not clear on what should be provided here. I saw that for the object store donation there was an entry of Identify name recorded for software grant: Software Grant from InfluxData, Inc, recoded 2022-07-22. Could you tell me more about the process you followed?

When we donated the object_store crate initially to ASF, we also filled submitted a Software Grant: https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html#grants

When an individual or corporation decides to donate a body of existing software or documentation to one of the Apache projects, they need to execute a formal Software Grant Agreement (SGA) with the ASF. Typically, they do this after negotiating approval with the ASF Incubator or one of the PMCs, since the ASF does not accept software unless there is a viable community available to support it as part of a collaborative project.

We already have a vote to accept this software into the Arrow project by the Arrow PMC.

Basically, I think this form needs to be filled out https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant-template.pdf

(update: see discussion below)

<em>the name of the grant as recorded
in the foundation/officers area, in either grants.txt or cclas.txt, so that the
grant can be easily identified. If recorded in the grants.txt document, use the
"for" or title. If recorded in the cclas.txt document, use the company name
(field 2 without submitter name) and the "form on file" name (field 4, without
any people's names).
