I doubt it.  If I18N is a registered trademark, then there are an
awful lot of people who owe somebody money.  It is used at every
company I have ever known about: Microsoft, Unisys, IBM, Novell,
DEC, Frame Tech., Sun ....
Hey!  Let's try to trademark it and we'll get rich! :-)

I hope they don't try to trademark the abbreviation "i18n". That would be a
real shame, and likely to introduce confusion in the field. I can just see
it now:

	"What's i18n?"
	"It's an abbreviation for internationalization."
	"No, no, no. It's the name of the journal of the AICR."
