It seems very obvious that AT&T lawyers are trying very hard to keep
UkNow-whatIX from becoming a generic term, one of the possible pathways for
losing trademark status.  Wasn't "Tollhouse" a trademark for Nestle at one
time?  Anyway, keeping it a type of thing rather than a thing would
certainly reduce its formal use as a generic entity, though it does nothing
for its common use.
