Are you a lawyer? Otherwise, you might want to mark your article "IANAL" so as to avoid getting sued by some Bar Association somewhere for verging on giving legalistic advice.

Please. Ordinary folks are allowed to use trademarks in any way they see fit. There's only some narrowly defined "commercial speech" contexts that require an entity to mark "(R)" or "(TM)" or "(C)" on some words, and then only the first time they're used.

I stand by my lawyer-vetted -> Content-free assertion.

I'll file in my "department of huh?" folder--I give up. Thanks for pointing out fair-use rules and commercial speech. Back to the point ... any thoughts on power laws and file system size distributions? Are they lognormal, power law in tails, double Pareto, etc. Is the generative model based on some kind of herding behavior --preferential attachment (Yule-Simon,etc)-- or something else? Feel free to take a histogram of your own file system and tell us what comes up.
