I believe the problem is that they were selling patterns that contained trademarks. I think that part of it is fair. It was my understanding, when most of our orgs began using Greek Licensing, that if we don't try to protect our trademarks and then find ourselves in a situation where we really need to protect our marks, the court case can be thrown out. So, by selling patterns containing the Olympic rings, they are in violation. I don't see the other points as valid though. I remember the question came up whether we can still make things with our letters if we're not licensed and the answer we received was that if we aren't selling things, then we are free to use our trademarks.
