They couldn't trademark "386", or "486" because those are *NUMBERS*,
and the court ruled you can't own a number. However, "IA32" is
definitely *not* a number, and certainly could be trademarked.
Besides, we've used "i386" as the name for this architecture since
1991, much longer than the "IA32" moinker has been around.
