Hello,
My name is Ben and I am about to be complete developing my new project "App Inventor Store", an ecommerce shop webpage, where people can buy snippets, tutorials, extensions, help, apps (templates for apps) and etc. I am currently using name "App Inventor Store". Can I do that, I actually didnt any sentence where I can't use "App Inventor" in my store's name. As stated in terms of services of AI, it was only saod that I can't use MIT, MIT App Inventor and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Is that correct if so, I am hoping to launch my store this weekend. Store has 3 features that I think are great "Rush delivery available", which means that user gets a bought prodict files instantly through an email (no longer manual emails ;)) and it always can take 5min to get an email, but rarely it can take upto 4days. "Verified charity contribution", 10% proceeds from every single bought product, will be given to MIT App Inventor's iOS crowdfunding page. And last, "Express checkout powered by PayPal", to buy anything inside the store, users will be able to use just their PayPal's, which most of the people have.
So, if I can use App Inventor as a part of my store's name, please tell me!

P.S: I have already added a disclaimer, that i am not a relative company or affiliate to MIT App Inventor.

Hi Ben,

App Inventor is not trademarked, so you may use it however you like. Thanks for helping to support App Inventor through our crowdfunding initiative!

Regards,
Evan
