So the combination of the comma and the o are supposed to be a magnifying glass. I wonder if they’re trademarking that image of text, or the combination of those four characters. After all, depending on the font, the comma is usually going to be curved, which would screw up the image.

I don’t think we need to worry too much. I’m not a solicitor but have been involved with similar cases and found this which might put peoples minds at ease - http://www.lawdit.co.uk/reading_room/room/view_article.asp?name=../articles/Passing%20Off%20Trade%20Mark%20Rights.htm
