Thanks for this long and balanced post.
Far less heated than I (or other hot people of the community) can produce.

If it wasn't a secret I am sure that ZC would know about the secret.
This reminds me a discussion between two business students:

Man! There has got to be some humor in this at some point!

The statement of ZC indicates they want to transfer their trademark
to ZF and now find the european trademark in other hands. OTOH, why
not just transfer/licence what they have (the .us trademark) and
