Does Oracle actually defend it? Isn't the rule behind a trademark that you actually need to enforce it?

VELCRO(r) has this song about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRi8LptvFZY

Edit: as I watched the video again I finally caught on the fact that RollerBlades are a brand of inline-skates. In Belgium we called them inline-skates.

It's interesting to see how brands-as-identifiers change based on language and countries. My Walloon friend calls tape Scotch, but I don't.

Unfortunately yes, they'll send you a C&D if you pop up on an Oracle lawyer's radar. A coworker of mine had a course named "Rust for JavaScript developers" and received a C&D from Oracle.

I just noticed that that video has a copyright notice at the end for Velcro BVBA (which I think is Belgian). Apparently it's a swiss invention. I had always assumed velcro was an American company, because in my language we don't say velcro either.

Tangent, but in Poland these are called "Iceskaterollers" (łyżworolki). Now I wonder how my mother tongue compares to, say, English in terms of gzip compression efficiency.
