I am not understanding all the details here, being that it bores me, but essentially let's just say someone gains the SL trademark, for the mark "SL".

What do they want then? Because LL would just stop that person from playing, from accessing the site, or from being connected to SL in any way.

I am not sure what's at stake here..or what anyone thinks they will accomplish. Hell, someone could sue WoW for any number of things, and possibly win. Then they are blocked from the virtual world, which does them no good.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing something, but it just seems funny.
