The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has awarded a Service Mark for the name "Carbon Manna" for use in commerce in the classes or fields-of-use noted below.
"Carbon Manna" refers to my invention on 25 April 2008 of the Carbon Micro Credit and a cell-phone-based Micro-Profit-Sharing System now being implemented in Kenya, and possibly in other countries worldwide without my knowledge. Which is fine -- it's an open-source, sustainable, self-funding micro solution for global poverty -- available for appropriation by anyone.
Except for the name, of course, which should not be used without permission.
Finally, for Posterity and future reference, here below is the exact text of the Service Mark certificate:
