Not quite, Gregg. Makerbot was purchased by Stratasys, not 3D Systems. Stratasys paid $400M, which is rather mind-boggling. Stratasys has now sued Affinia, a much smaller maker of desktop 3d printers. Affinia, fortunately, is large enough to fight back, and has challenged some Stratasys patents

Trademarking doesn't do much other than allowing someone/thing to take some ownership of a name to make sure that someone else can't openly use the same "name". Remember when EMC2 became LinuxCNC? That was due to what EMC saw as a trademark infringement. (Which I still think was BS.. ) If t
