You think we should give them a heads up that the route symbol bullets are trademarked by the MTA or just wait until the MTA legal dept catches up to them?
Urban myth. Show my any proof or indication that the route symbols are trademarked. The MTA doesn't even seem to claim a common law trademark (that is, without the circle-R) by placing a "TM" along with the symbols.
Nor, even on their web site as on the schedule page, do they show any claim such as "the route letter symbols are a trademark of Metropolitan Transportation Authority."
If they really were trademarks, the MTA would have to defend them once they learn of an infringement or risk losing them on a claim of genericness.
