Wait a sec. The individual glyphs aren't

trademarkable, I'd think.
Trademarkable, yes - but probably not copyrightable in the United
States. Two different sets of laws. I have no doubt that a trademark
suit against someone abusing that logo would have a chance.
I'm also not sure it applies here, though since Meg Ireland hasn't
given us the context, it's hard to tell for sure.
