There isn't much explanation at that link so I could be wrong, but I am 
sure that Intel just has a representation of 'I' trademarked(or else why 
would they be applying for another patent on the letter 'I'?).  A lot of 
companies do this and it doesn't mean that I can't start a computer 
company and have my logo being a stylized I and trademark, it just can't 
look identical to Intel's.  Likewise, MacZilla doesn't have a trademark 
on every green dinosaur, they merely have a trademark on their specific 
representaion of a green dinosaur.

Standard IANAL disclaimer...
