Let's clarify a little.
(1) The mere fact that SCO is applying for these trademarks means they have more
development going than was generally thought. This raises the hope that SCO's
sales will increase and they will be able to see the lawsuits through to the end
so that we eventually get to find out how the judges rule. That's good.
(2) EXECUTION PROCESS SERVER refers to what happens when SCO is served with a
subpeona. I won't discuss the details, as this is a family web page.

The phrase "Above the Line" is a common phrase in computer scince for
programs running on IBM's mainframes.
There used to be a 16Mb limit for memory available to programs. work arounds
were later employed that allowed programs to access memory "Above the
Line", or greater than 16Mb.
If the phrase has a long history of common use in the same business field that
SCOX does business in, can the phrase be trademarked?

It's interesting to note that the results provided by the USPTO don't give
indication on what the problem is.
Is it that with an initial refusal
they get another filing fee? Or perhaps, the fact that USL was already
potentially in use?
It might help if they clarified why they were
responding as such. Of course, IANAL, so that particular information might fit
into the Privacy laws and I wouldn't know it for sure. I'm not sure how
information that should be available to the public (the fact USL is in use)
would be considered for privacy, ah well.

Methinks this is Darl setting himself up for trying to run some form of SCO
while travelling the globe and not staying in one place for more than a few
days. "Roadrunner" indeed.
Why would he do this?
Well the Nazgul's Fell Beasts can take them long distances. And the One True
Ring isn't all they can sniff out!
And there's going to be a lot of Process Servers in their wake - so he's got to
have a defence if any of them should meet with an "accident".
"Myvote" is obviously a backup for when he gets voted off the board of
SCO. "Your vote is actually Myvote, and I vote to keep me in charge".
"Me, Inc": you can't do anything to me - I'm a limited company!
"Heartbeat for Business" has me stumped though. Trying to think of a
pacemaker joke but coming up dry ... <grin>

I found this one quite amusing. "Me, Inc." would be a good
translation of the german term "Ich AG". "Ich AG" is a
semi-official term used to denominate a program, where
unemployed people will receive - instead of regular
welfare - a sort of initial financial support for building
up their own (small scale) business. Something like going
free-lance with some puglic support for the first months.
Interestingly, the term is semi-official, as mentioned,
but depending on context, the connotation ranges from
positive (such as government reports) over neutral (it's
used in reputable news(papers)) to disdainful. In the
latter case it's typically used as a term for (mostly low
qualification) jobs, which would normally be a regular
employment, but are now done as "freelance" work without
social security. Here, the connotation is more like
"selling oneself", and if you associate prostitution, you
would not be the first to point that out. Also it is
sometimes used to coin one-person-business models, which
are quite obviously doomed to fail.
Maybe even more fascinating is the fact, that a german
left-wing magazine has a column "Ich AG der Woche" (Me,
Inc. of the week). This column is an ironical comment on
persons (typically politicians or business people), who
pulled of some scam for their personal benefit.
So why does SCO need this trademark? Honi soit qui mal y
pense... [ Reply to This | # ]

All it takes is a bored programmer making a sarcastic comment about EXECUTION

They're probably readying the discovery requests for programmer's doodle pads as
we speak.
I was joking when I started writing this, but maybe it's a risk. A GPL'd arcade
game with the EPS as a boss would probably be worth a couple of wild press

Well here's the description from the application for EXECUTION PROCESS
SERVER:
Computer software for:
communicating information to
users on a computer network;
providing interactive communications through a
computer network;
providing collaboration among users on a computer
network;
providing polls among users on a computer network;
providing a
bulletin board;
providing a chat room;
providing instant messaging for
transmission of messages among computer users on a computer
network;
providing collaborative communications in a corporate or business
environment;
monitoring applications, devices and information;
remote
control applications;
software development;
mobile devices including
cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and smart
phones
It looks like they are designing a smart portal system.
Something like a cross between Outlook, Sourceforge, Yahoo Groups etc. Something
businesses could use to tie their entire workforce together using everything
from desktops through mobiles to the candy machine and coffee maker. It's all
been done before (There was a Coke™ machine on the internet a very
long time ago.) But as far as I know it hasn't been done in one product before.
I wish them luck; if they've got the basic problems licked then they might have
the basis for a very nice product. Except that they seem to be making it
centralised and not distributed, so it will scale badly but that's probably OK
for the commercial sector. I wish them luck, but personally I don't think
they'll get time to produce it before they go bankrupt.

I find it so curious that SCO Group will not hesitate to sue over IP that they
claims copyright for, when there are broad questions about their alleged
ownership. Now they are trying to trademark a variety of words that are in use
by others in whole or part.
Me,Inc. -- There are a number of REAL business throughout the U.S. that are
Me, Inc or some very close variable. Further unless it is the name of a
business theInc. causes huge problems because that implies a certain form of
business organization. Also there is another company that owns Me in relation
to software. They are just a little company in Washington state, some kid name
Gates runs it, Micorsnot or something like that. they have a product called
Windows Me. I have heard that Gates kid get really upset with folks that even
think of using a similar trademark to one of his.
Me, Inc is also trademarked by a group called Strategic Innovation, Inc. in
Texas. They filed it 3/29/95, with serial number 74653423.
EPS Mobile is used by a company called EPS that build diesel engines.
"above the line" is trademarked by two companies. Since 12/10/97 by a
company Partners in Leadership, LLC of Temecula, CA. The serial number is
75402981. It has also been trademarked by a company called Soundtronics
Wireless of Burbank, CA, Since April 29, 1998. It is also used as a title or
part of a title in numerous copywritten publications.
"mobilets" is a technology term used in a article titled "Dynamic
Service Reconfiguration for Wireless Web Access" by Siu-Nam Chang and
others from Hong Kong Polytechnic. The article is copywritten, and it appears
they developed the term for their hypothesis.
MyVote.org is a website since around 1998. It is also used for a number of
other web sites and voting software around the world.
GoMobile may well conflict with Cingular Wireless' trademark as that is the name
of one of their prepaid cell phone services.
I could go on, but I have better things to do tonight. I get this type of
assignment for research on occasion from the lawyers I work for. Obviously the
attorney SCO Group hired did not do very good research. More SCO goofs.
I am forwarding my research to the Tradmark Office as a heads up. I know Darl
will appreciate that. We would not want him to use trademarks that are
registered or copywritten by someone else. Darl knows the value of a copyright
or trademark doesn't he????
Many of these proposed trademarks appear to be a coporate "smash and
grab." They are really being quite dumb.

Doesn't seem like any of these trademarks bear any relation to SCO's business.
I think they're just preparing for life after IBM.
After their copyight, contract, patent, trade secret gambit wen south, they're
planing their move to the next one:
Trademarks.
This is probably the first in a wave of trademarks to be registered by SCO.
The plan is of course to guess what trademarks other companies might need in the
future. Then SCO's hope is to catch someone who is unlucky enough to be in the
same general business, and use a similar trademark.
Then SCO will start up nuisance lawsuits, hoping to be paid off.
After all, litigation, no matter how bad it is done, is the core of SCO's
business. It seems to be a special Utah trait.
I don't know what's in the drinking water over there but everyone wants to make
it big in the courts. In Utah, dogs sue mailmen for emotional distress instead

Creating trademarks as a paper exercise could be a way to generate saleable
assets. AFAIK it is one of the few ways to make money legally out of thin air,
like domain registrations. There was a group who tried to register 21st Century
Fox in the hope that it could be resold after Y2K.
Perhaps Darl has found a way to generate corporate value without the
inconvenience of r&d?
