A.  My original post was to be taken somewhat sarcasticly.
B.  A Trademark that is not used is lost.  If the Trademark is registered one
has a longer "dormit" period.  It is quite possible that none of TLC's
older Trademarks are still enforceable.

Blacktron III, although I doubt it.  Still, losing the ability to do it
would be a concern for them.

Hmm... I wonder if TLC will go after this company, they took a LEGO brand
name!!!! : )

Why would TLC care about a Trademark it doesn't intend to use again.  It • would
be cool if they did use the "trons" again.  As much as I would like that, • I
doubt it will happen.
