Completely seconded... For a start, trademarking a single, common word is illegal in many countries (EU countries fall under this case). Second, I want to point out that following Lince Lab's (r)(c)(tm) own trademark policy, the use of "Life" in a name is not forbidden. Please, see: http://secondlife.com/corporate/brand/trademark/unauthorized.php So, what exactly is all this fuss about ??? Soft, care to try and explain us ?... Or perhaps one of the LL's lawyers could post on this list to explain their exact stance on this matter ?
