Well, it's straight out of a book I bought two years ago in the former
GDR.

It is of no relevance to the USL vs. BSDI suit.

Lebeda may have registered that trademark in Austria, but the don't
own it in the USA. This is the same as Yellow Pages being a registered
trademark in the UK.

Anyway, here is the complete reference:
