There is a correct way to bring such things to the attention of the Trademark Office, and this is not it.

David Santoro actually asked the designer, and got permission to use the MAME logo on the tokens. SHE IS THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR. Yeesh. If anything, we should be emailing everyone using the MAME logo to protect them. They may be getting extorted as we speak.
