Yes! Back in '71 there was a group developing a programming language
here in Norway tht they wanted to call PL/70. They checked it out and
found that IBM had registered as trademarks PL/1 to PL/100 and,
therefore, had to call the programming language something else
(eventually, it was called Mary -- which presumably is *not*
a registered trademark ;-) )
