As a general rule, the owner of a trademark should be very agressive in protecting and defending his trademark against infringement. Failure to do so might cause the owner to lose the trademark rights and prevent the owner to be able to bring lawsuits against any other infringements if they let somebody to infringe without repercussions. MtGox is has quite probably already lost the rights in this matter as I have not heard about thousands of lawsuits they have brought up to prevent others to use the word. So nobody should be worried what MtGox could do. MtGox is definately not able to say publicly that they are not going to be hyperaggressive. That would definately lead them to lose the rights. On the other hand I believe MtGox owning the trademark prevents anybody else from claiming it is their trademark.

I sure hope this is correct, as somebody who has and will be using said traidmark. Asfar as preventing others from claiming the trademark, thats all good in my book. Still a statement of some sort would sure be helpful. Disclaimer: I have never read any lawbook in my life.
