I remember in the early days of linux, they had a similar problem where people attempted to trademark the use of the word linux all around the world.

To combat this, the formed something along the lines of the linux foundation and trademarked it themselves.

Is anyone working along similar lines with Bitcoin? As someone who is working on setting up a business involving bitcoin, this uncertainty is disconcerting and I would be happy to work with and/or contribute to an organization that would help solidify the bitcoin name.
