uh...so what do we do...keep changing the name so we don't get into trademark wars?

File a statement with the USPTO stating that Bitcoin cannot be trademarked, as it has been in use since 2009, and point to proof. (Wikipedia articles, news articles, etc.)

If everyone does this, then that lawyer isn't going to succeed in trademarking Bitcoin.
