Sorry, it's not anymore. There are two registrations for the simple
trademark "Linux", including:
Rosch, AG (Swiss) for laundry detergents and laundry bleaches
for home use; cleaning preparations for home use; degreasing
preparations for home use; general purpose scouring powders;
skin soap for personal use; perfume; essential oils for
personal use; preparations for personal hygiene and cosmetic
purposes, hair tonic; toothpaste.
Croce, William R. Della, Jr., 33 Snow Hill St. Boston MA 02113
computer operating system software to facilitate computer use
and operation. CHANGE IN REGISTRATION HAS OCCURRED.
I prefer to use the first because it amuses me.
