Moot is a dictionary word. Not trademarkable. C&D was a waste of money. He would have done better to just ask them nicely to stop.

Ultimately Moot could use his social clout to get them to switch names. IANAL but I'm pretty sure it's a legal name.

Good point. I've seen many of these cases. My guess is some lawyers don't even care, they will get paid anyway, they can only win.
