"Internet Explorer" Not Owned by Microsoft

"The Wall Street Journal reports today that Microsoft
does not own the name Internet Explorer. Last month, the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office began registering the
name to SyNet Inc. whose founder claims he has been using
the name since 1994 (the firm is now defunct, after legal
bills in the tens of thousands of dollars fighting
Microsoft on this issue). Microsoft is planning to argue
that the name Internet Explorer is, in fact, a generic
name, like cola. The article is here

post a non subscribed link to this please?
