Here's another feather in your cap.  Since their current trademark registration was filed for opposition February 20, 2001 and the fact that the opposition period lasts 6 months, I think you could potentially file an authentic opposition claim any time before August 20th that could be used to pre

OK, again based on what I have read in layman terms, if that is the meat of their argument, then it looks like they are basing their claims on the generic terms of "dilution" of their trademark.  Which basically means that they feel they have invested significant effort into developing the name a

Another note with regard to JDEE. I think it would be perfectly legal because there is no trademark for it, it is a fair description of the product, and there a multiple examples of one letter off trademarks. E.g. IBM, IBMA, IBME, IBMI, etc. NBA, NBAA, NBAF, etc. It all comes down to the fact
