Crazy how these broad trademarks are allowed. Despair Inc (home of hilarious "demotivational" posters) registered the frowny emoticon some time ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despair,_Inc.#Other_works http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despair,_Inc.#Other_works). They did it more as a publicity stunt to my understanding. The press release threatening to sue people who used it on their less favorite IM programs or in hideous font faces like comic sans was hilarious.
