If Intel wanted to trademark the numbers *alone*, it probably couldn't be done. If they, however, wanted to trademark "Intel 286" it probably could be done with the "286" disclaimed. IOW, they could not litigate against AMD for using "AMD 286." However, this has definitively moved beyond the subject of this echo, and even with his challenge to me to respond, I will deal with this only because of another tirade from him. Lawrence ...
