If someone can "own" a word, or a particular series of words, and if they are able to slap lawsuits and cease-and-desist letters from high-priced attorneys on anyone who even approximates their protected verbiage, then in the long run we are all screwed.
I read an article at Bloomberg today which at first I mistook for some satire piece from The Onion. But then I realized that it wasn't funny.
