IANAL but.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use_(U.S._trademark_law) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use_(U.S._trademark_law... I have personally been working at a company where we had a problem with this. We were providing reviews of companies' websites, and therefore had to use their name and trademark. It was tricky legal ground for us to do this and we were challenged a few times.

Fair enough, I did not realize there was a different concept called that in trademark law. I still don't understand why you think it's absurd that he would assert such a defense, though. The article you linked clearly states that nominative use is actually encouraged by US trademark law. It seems a no brainer that you'd be able to specify the platform that your product works with.

  The main problem here is that the author has created a product, which is harmful to the company in question whilst using their trademark. Generally courts don't like that.
