To me it seems like turbo pascal is no longer a valid trademark[1], or am I missing something? I like it at least. I used turbo pascal, turbo c/c++ and tasm quite a lot in my youth for this sort of stuff :) [1] https://trademarks.justia.com/736/24/turbo-73624203.html https://trademarks.justia.com/736/24/turbo-73624203.html

interesting. typical of embarcadero. but trse does seem to have pirated the intel inside logo design.

  I feel like I must be missing something. I read the submitted web page and watched the "promo" video, and didn't see anything that mentioned Intel or even remotely resembled the "Intel Inside" logo. Where are you seeing a connection?

  From what I can find the trademark for the logo with the arcs is abandoned/expired but the phrase “intel inside” is current. It doesn’t really matter anyways unless Intel wants to send a takedown notice so why do we care?

That trademark is only for the term "Turbo pascal" on a printed reference manaual for a computer program. It probably wouldn't have applied here anyway, but maybe there are other (more generic) turbo pascal or even "turbo ProgrammingLanguage" trademarks?

  Turbo C and Turbo Prolog existed (I briefly used both in early 1990s).

  Yes. See my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35858954 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35858954 where I point to a few, as well as for "Turbo".
