Howdy,

Good point. I just looked at the FrameMaker documentation and they don't
follow
the "adjective" rule. Does that mean Adobe would be in danger of loosing
their
trademark?

Our legal department is HARDCORE about using TMs as adjectives (which might
be because of the legal wars we have had in the past). Is this normal? Does
anyone
know of a case were a TM was lost due to not using it as an adjective?
