Wake-on-LAN
You say "No Wake on LAN on the IBM trademark page: http://www.ibm.com/legal/us/en/copytrade.shtml", have you read "This list is not a comprehensive list of all IBM trademarks" notice on that page? The link for removed trademark you provided is invalid. Initial reference on the page claim WoL to be IBM trademark - http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/xbc/cog/notices.html46.181.129.142 (talk) 17:28, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

That notice says "This publication could contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors... It is your responsibility to obtain the latest information." The trademark has expired. Please verify it for yourself. Go to the Trademark Electronic Search System - http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp - and search for "wake on lan." IBM cancelled it in 2009.

There looks to be no document for your statement on the site you noted - neither searching "wake on lan" nor "wake on lan IBM" - http://search.uspto.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sc=0&query=wake+on+lan+IBM&m=&affiliate=web-sdmg-uspto.gov&commit=Search http://search.uspto.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sc=0&query=wake+on+lan&m=&affiliate=web-sdmg-uspto.gov&commit=Search. Either provide proof link for the statement you claim or stop distort the article. 46.181.129.142 (talk) 06:04, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

You almost got there. There's an actual trademark search function you need to use. To see the wake on lan record – http://imgur.com/NGYHtL4 – please follow these steps.

1. Go to http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp

2. Click "Search for trademarks" in the top-right corner.

3. Under Select A Search Option, click "Basic Word Mark Search (New User)"

4. In the Search Term field, type "wake on lan"

5. Click the Submit Query button

The record will open, and near the bottom you'll see the Live/Dead Indicator and the Cancellation Date.Niktrix (talk) 20:33, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
