Trademark & Copyright
Last updated: 20 February 2026
This page describes MoreRight's trademarks, copyright ownership, and how to properly reference our marks. Written in plain language — same principle as everything else here.
1. Copyright
© 2025–2026 Anthony Eckert / MoreRight DAO. All rights reserved except as explicitly licensed.
Copyright applies differently depending on the content tier:
- Tier 1 (CC-BY 4.0) — Papers 1–5, 4B, 8, 9, methodology, experiment protocols. Copyrighted but freely usable under CC-BY. Credit required.
- Tier 2 (MoreRight License v1.0) — Papers 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, applied analyses, tooling. Source-available with commercial use gated by Void Score. See Licensing.
- Tier 3 (All rights reserved) — Site code, API, agent fleet, strategy, tokenomics. No license granted. Don't copy or redistribute.
For details on what falls into each tier and commercial use terms, see the Licensing page.
2. Trademarks
The following are trademarks of Anthony Eckert / MoreRight DAO:
| Mark | Usage | Status |
|---|---|---|
| MoreRight™ | The project name, organization, and platform | Common law trademark |
| Void Index™ | The scoring system and 12-point measurement scale | Common law trademark |
| Void Index Certified™ | The certification mark for platforms scoring ≤4/12 | Common law trademark |
| Void Atlas™ | The 3D platform visualization and scored database | Common law trademark |
| $MORR | The Solana token ticker | Token identifier |
These marks survive the Change Date (February 19, 2030). When the MoreRight License converts to Apache 2.0, trademark protections remain in effect. You can use the openly licensed content freely — you cannot represent yourself or your product as MoreRight, Void Index Certified, or otherwise endorsed by MoreRight without authorization.
3. Using Our Marks
You Can
- Reference MoreRight by name when discussing the project
- Say "scored using the Void Index" when describing scores calculated with the published methodology
- Link to moreright.xyz when citing or referencing
- Use the marks in academic papers, journalism, and commentary
- Describe your own tool as "compatible with" or "based on" the Void Framework methodology
- Use the CC-BY papers and methodology for any purpose, including commercial
You Cannot
- Claim your product IS MoreRight or IS the Void Index
- Display "Void Index Certified" without an active certification
- Imply MoreRight endorses your product without authorization
- Use our marks in your product name, domain name, or branding
- Create logos or badges that are confusingly similar to ours
- Register domain names containing "moreright" or "voidindex"
4. Proper Attribution
When referencing MoreRight content under CC-BY 4.0, proper attribution includes:
- Author: Anthony Eckert / MoreRight
- Source: Link to the specific paper or page on moreright.xyz or the Zenodo DOI
- License: CC-BY 4.0 (for Tier 1 content)
- Changes: If you modified the content, indicate what was changed

5. The Void Index Certified Badge
The "Void Index Certified" badge is a certification mark, not a general-use badge. It may only be displayed by platforms that:
- Hold an active Void Index certification (score ≤4/12)
- Are enrolled in continuous monitoring
- Have a public score dashboard on the Void Network
Displaying the badge without active certification, or after revocation, is a trademark violation. Revoked platforms are publicly listed on the Void Network.
See Certification for the full lifecycle, pricing, and requirements.
6. Open-Source & Third-Party Notices
MoreRight uses the following open-source components:
- Three.js — 3D visualization (MIT License)
- Umami — Privacy-focused analytics (MIT License)
Trademarks of third parties mentioned on this site (platform names, company names) belong to their respective owners and are used solely for identification purposes in the context of void scoring analysis. MoreRight is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any scored platform unless explicitly stated.
7. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)
If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to:
Include: identification of the copyrighted work, the specific URL on our site, your contact information, and a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized. We will respond within 10 business days.
8. Trademark Questions
Questions about trademark usage, licensing, or attribution: [email protected]. If you're unsure whether your use is permitted, ask first. The default answer is probably yes for research, journalism, and commentary.
Why we have trademark protections
The methodology is open — anyone can score platforms using the published criteria. The marks protect the integrity of the scoring service. Without trademark protection, anyone could slap a "Void Index Certified" badge on a platform without any actual assessment. That would be a D1 event (agency attribution to a void) — exactly what the framework is designed to detect. Trademarks protect the signal. Open methodology ensures the signal is auditable.
