That's sort of amusing. My understanding of trademark law is that one can't trademark a single word. But note that Panic appear to claim protection for "CODA", not "Coda." Still, I'd suggest to Satya that he ask CMU legal to file some sort of notice with the PTO attesting to the longstanding prior use of the word by Coda, simply to avoid grief should there be some 'coda has to change its name because of CODA' in the future.Received on 2007-09-16 07:55:38
