The first trademark was issued in Europe. BibLibre were responsible stewards and thus no objection was raised at that point. They acted as they stated they would: they applied for the TM on our behalf, received it, and were generous enough to sign it over to HLT at their expense.
Outrage was expressed over the US trademark and still is to the current day. It would be interesting to see how US courts find in this department.
