RE: Dewey, the Library Hotel and U. Illinois (RE: )

And I imagine that the U of Illinois is not alone in this. There are
probably a lot of examples, which doesn't exactly help OCLC's case against
the Library Hotel.

By the way, I wasn't defending OCLC in my earlier note. Sue Martin had
asked "Which is it, copyright or trademark?" I was clarifying that it was
trademark, and not copyright.

As does the U. of Illinois.  See here for an example:
