Who's we? sugaronastick.com? Sugar Labs members? Let's be clear:

We've been a distro distributor for months - from the before the
beta-1 Sugar on a Stick announcement.
And, we are marketing it with success (cf. worldwide tech press
coverage, the BBC, etc).
We can do this because we are very, very careful not to overpromise.
Part of our work is to jumpstart a

I don't agree with this at all.
Nobody chooses an iPod based on its model number.
The best approach is for us to discuss with distros their Sugar plans
so we can build Sugar use in an organized way. That includes names,
which is a marketing issue.

Hello Folks,
With all this discussion of naming conventions, we seem to be failing to
consider our targeted end-users: classroom teachers. Most of them think Fedora
is a hat. It could just as well be "derby" as far as they are concerned. I

Sugar on a Stick is the central pillar of our marketing strategy.
As such we need to protect the name and have final say over its use.
I'll explain again later on, have to go offline now.

Is it actually possible to trademark it now its actively being used by
third parties?

So
"Sugar on a Stick" is not trademarked; my position is that it should
be, and the sooner the better.
I'm all for changing our strategy, marketing and PR, but there needs
to be compelling marketing reasons for doing so. I haven't heard any
yet. Like throwing out code, doing so has a cost.
