[Linux-disciples] Trademarks

[Stephen R Laniel]

I was reading about inotify:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-inotify.html?ca=dgr-lnxw82Inotify

and noticed that 'Linux' was trademarked. So I looked on the
USPTO site and found
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=b96p29.3.28

Just in case that link goes dead (I think it may be a
temporary link, like those on thomas.loc.gov), here's the
text:
