I once got a "cease and desist" letter from a legal firm defending someone's trademark for "metadata". I mean, seriously. Perhaps obviously, I ignored it. It's still in my files somewhere.

Granted, the term was originally a variation of My Netscape, My Yahoo, and My Deja News, but all sorts of things followed it, like MyiLibrary, the Google Books My Library, and then there was a ALA thing. I'm not necessarily saying MyLibrary was the leader here, but an example of how trademarks (monikers) can be used, abused, and morphed. --Eric Morgan
