Dell Computer, who you may remember was at one time a forward looking company, was turned down by the Patents and Trademark office for a trademark of "cloud computing." Chutzpah computer company (or maybe even better simple exchange their E for a U) might be their better name. I have a distinct memory of using the term of the cloud in relation to computing a few years ago - when it became apparent that WEB 2.0 was going to change the way we do a lot of things. I am hardly at the cutting edge. I guess when you cannot innovate you go to cheap regulatory tricks like trying to trademark the cloud.
