+      <p>
+        The PostgreSQL Community Association wishes to provide an update on
+        trademark actions that were taken by Fundación PostgreSQL.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        On November 17, 2023, the PostgreSQL Community Association, PostgreSQL
+        Europe, and Fundación PostgreSQL reached a settlement on all outstanding
+        trademark issues. Fundación PostgreSQL has surrendered all trademarks
+        and entered into a trademark license with the PostgreSQL Community
+        Association.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        All three organizations are pleased to have reached an amicable
+        resolution, and all will continue to work on activities to help grow the
+        PostgreSQL community.
+      </p>

-      <h5>23 June 2022</h5>
-
-      <p>In 2020, the PostgreSQL Core Team was made aware of trademarks
-        registered in Spain and the European Union for <strong>POSTGRESQL</strong>
-        and <strong>POSTGRESQL COMMUNITY</strong> by Fundación PostgreSQL, a
-        3rd-party nonprofit organization. Subsequently, Fundación PostgreSQL
-        also filed trademark registrations for <strong>POSTGRES</strong>.
-        This situation is described in two
-        separate announcements by the PostgreSQL community:
-        "<a href="https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/trademark-actions-against-the-postgresql-community-2302/">Trademark Actions Against the PostgreSQL Community</a>" and
-        "<a href="https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/update-on-the-trademark-actions-against-the-postgresql-community-2437/">Update on the Trademark Actions Against the PostgreSQL Community</a>".
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        Fundación PostgreSQL offered publicly and privately to transfer the
-        trademark registrations to PGCA at no cost. However, when prompted to
-        initiate the transfer, Fundación PostgreSQL refused. This forced both
-        PGCA and <a href="https://www.postgresql.eu">PostgreSQL Europe</a> (PGEU),
-        a recognized PostgreSQL nonprofit organization that operates in Europe,
-        to go forward with court proceedings in Spain to invalidate the
-        trademark registrations.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        On the 31st of May, the Spanish court ruled in favor of PGCA
-        and PGEU and invalidated the
-        <strong>POSTGRESQL</strong> and <strong>POSTGRESQL COMMUNITY</strong>
-        trademarks that were registered by Fundación PostgreSQL.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        Legal action on the registration for <strong>POSTGRES</strong> is
-        ongoing.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        Fundación PostgreSQL attempted to register the same three
-        trademarks in the United States. These applications were rejected
-        by the examiner and are now abandoned.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        The PGCA board is grateful for the support that the PostgreSQL
-        community has provided for the defense of our trademarks. As we have
-        stated previously, we do hope for an amicable resolution in this matter,
-        but will pursue all options until Fundación PostgreSQL surrenders all
-        claims to trademarks that are in violation of the PostgreSQL
-        <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/trademarks/">trademark policy</a>.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        If you would like to continue to help support the mission of PGCA of
-        holding community assets such as tradearks and domain names, we kindly
-        ask that you please consider <a href="/donate">donating</a>.
