RE: eServer iSeries or i5?

[Patricia Garrity <patricia_grrty@xxxxxxxxx>]

IBM do NOT have trademarks for i5, i6, i7, i8 or i9.
That is according to the US Patent and Trademark
Office.

The trademark i5 is owned by a golf club manufacturer
in Arizona.

IBM does own the i5/OS trademark.  They do NOT own
i6/OS, i7/OS, etc.
