I doubt very much that the branding team in Intel had much heads-up of the Nokia announcement. What happens in these big companies is that there's a branding team that works on branding guidelines, and then everyone within the company who needs to use the logo starts using it as they feel appropriate (esp. when working with outside design teams), and wait for the branding team to slap them on the wrist. My guess is that the use of the logo in the various web infrastructure places didn't go through approval by the branding team in Intel. A good policy for branding guidelines is that they should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. Another good policy is that the policy should apply to everyone. A good trademark usage policy is easy to apply, in general, whereas a poor one feels like it's always getting in the way.
