Does he not have legal grounds to sue for trademark infringement if he so desired? Just because it's not a registered trademark doesn't mean it's not a trademark. It's not like it's called "Hot Sauce (TM)" or something. My mom regularly mistakes a nasty Texas Pete knockoff labeled Sriracha for the famous stuff.

Probably, but at this point he is at the Kleenex, Xerox, Google stage of brand name. He would do more harm then good if he pursued it.

  The Google trademark lawyers would roll over in their crypt if they read your comment :).

    Maybe if they saw blatant, copycat visuals (ehem, Bing), but not name-wise: I've never seen someone try to start a search engine called something like "The Better Google"
