    Assholes. This is clearly not infringing, because they are quite different. If this goes through, we will have the copyright wars on letters, where one company blocks all others.

        Trademarks are very different from patents. They are the one form of IP that basically everyone should be okay with. Unlike copyright and patents, they are more about consumer protection than about control.
