Naw.  I think they just pay a lawyer about $5000 to write the
disclaimer, so they have to use it everywhere they print something,
just so they get their money's worth.  If you look at practically any
ad paid for by Commodore, there will be little tiny letters on the
bottom of the ad saying that "The Computer for the Creative Mind* is a
registered trademark of Commodore-Amiga, Inc."  This happens even if
they don't actually mention that slogan in the ad.
