Double IANAL for me too, but I was under the impression that you cannot
easily trademark a common name either. Which is why OSGi's trademark
applies to those four letters with the small "i".

AFAIU, for trademarks of common names (opposed to fabricated words, logotypes,
sounds and others) I think there is a requirement of being restricted to a

Felix car or Felix softwares. BUT, IANAL, and been wrong before.
