Just a question: Is the term "MyFi" trademarked?

I saw that XM Radio announced a new product called "MyFi" today : http://www.xmradio.com/myfi/.

Now I am not in favor of frivilous lawsuits, but if DI went through the pains of trademarking "MyFi" (note the identical StudlyCaps(tm) spellings!) shouldn't it be protected?

This is good news, then. I just wanted to make sure that the "little guy" wasn't getting steamrolled by someone bigger.

Glad to know that it all happened above-board.

A very happy Neuros customer and DI fan,
Ken

How much did it go for?

Yeah. How much did they get for it? Maybe this will pay for totally awesome new Neuros features like Photoshop image-editing with a free firmware update, or DVDąRW burning, or Commadore64 and PCjr. compatibility! Oh boy! Or maybe Neuros Audio (NA, not DI) could start paying dividends!

Hmm. Does DI or NA have publically-traded stock? :P

We sold the name MyFi for 10 million dollars.

I'm just kidding.
