Could &#39;Node.JS&#39; sue (and win) a trademark infringement against any software companies that use the word &#39;Node&#39;?
<p>Ever since 'Node.JS' became very popular, a lot of software companies have been using the word 'Node' in their trademarks. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>ControlNode</li>
<li>NodeStudio</li>
<li>AppNode</li>
</ul>
<p>Could Node.JS owners potentially sue (and win) a lawsuit against software companies that have the term 'Node' in them?</p>

<p>Could they sue?  Yes.  &quot;<a href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87851829&amp;caseType=SERIAL_NO&amp;searchType=statusSearch" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Node.js</a>&quot; is trademarked.</p>
<p>Would they win?  Almost certainly not.  &quot;Node.js&quot; is just one of 424 trademarks registered with the USPTO that contains the word &quot;node&quot;, and Joyent, Inc. was granted a very narrow set of goods and services that the trademark applies to, namely &quot;downloadable computer software for use in reading and writing computer code&quot;.</p>
