Neomail vs. Neomail

Vagatech writes: "Neomail, a GPL project to create a high quality Web frontend to local unix mail spools, has recently come under the gun after dicovering that an online community provider known as Neopets is presently attempting to win a trademark on the Neomail name. Ernie Miller, creator of Neomail is understandably quite concerned about this development and the repeated brushoffs he and his lawyer have received from the company in there efforts to find a solution to this problem. He has therefore posted this page to provide more information about the case as it stands and to ask for advice and support from the Opensource community at large." I thought this was interesting because it hasn't gotten to the lawsuit stage yet - there may still be hope. General advice to Miller: you can oppose the granting of trademarks during the process. Talk to your lawyer.
