Inside 'R' Us!
(Depending on what 'is' is, 'R' is used by that toy outfit.....
...and BLUE has been grabbed by IBM,
That just left us 'US' and 'Inside'. Which one would YOU take?

That sounds like a trick question, so my answer is 'THEM' and 'Outside'.

The story of Intel vs AMD is a long one full of 1/2 truths on both sides.
The trash printed by The Register is just trash and full of insider information which is seldom correct.
The issue of trademarks is one which is fought daly by all corporations as if you fail to protect it, you loose it. Based on a court decision, this is WHY Intel couldn't trademark 80486 or i486.
BTW, the word "Athlon" is trademarked by a bathroom partion manufacture to which I'm sure AMD is working hard to resolve.

I don't believe so. Only the word Porsche itself is a trademark.
Actually, it depends upon whether the branding of a product or service causes confusion. The courts typically uphold trademark protections against products or services in the same or complementary markets. If you were to create, for example, a shampoo named 911, the courts would probably not give Porsche trademark protection. However, it is my understanding that the courts prevented a company that was producing auto floor mats with the labels "911", "944", etc from doing so. This seems like a reasonable thing. Porsche invested in its trademarks. It deserves to not have them devalued by third parties.

The story of Intel vs AMD is a long one full of 1/2 truths on both sides. Um, where was this story talking about Intel vs. AMD? There are plenty of other stories that are, but not this one. But thanks for spreading it around.
The trash printed by The Register is just trash and full of insider information which is seldom correct.
Care to point to some specific instances where the Register reported something as fact and it later turned out to be untrue? If they are seldom correct, it should only take you a few minutes to look through their recent headlines to prove that they are seldom correct.
Now as far as their political editorializing, yes they are biased to the left but I don't read their articles for the politics.

"Then it tried to trademark the expression 'map inside'. Big mistake."I hate the stupid trademark games corporations play, but in this case I say "live by the sword, die by the sword." What rational person would try to trademark "map inside"?! It's an envelope... there's a map inside it... how else are you supposed to say it? "Contains cartographic document!" "Navigational aid within!"
In other stupid trademark news, I found out Sunday that U-Haul® has trademarked In-TownTM. That's right, if your move takes you from one house inside the city limits to another, it's an "In-TownTM" move, and thus if you use anyone but U-Haul® you have to pay a royalty. ;-)
Still, nothing will ever hold a candle to Lucasfilm®'s trademarking of NaziTM.

Trademarking of 'Nazi'???? Since when??
To: time4good
When Lucasfilmwhoops, sorry, make that Lucasfilm®licensed Raiders of the Lost Ark toys and games, it trademarked the name of every character in the movie as a matter of policy. Well, as you can imagine, there are quite a few characters who are simply named things like "Nazi #1," "Nazi with rocket launcher" and so forth... so Lucasfilm's lawyers reflexively trademarked the word "Nazi."

You can't trademark a number.
If you could Clinton would have had '666' all for himself.
