I do, Bill. I'll ignore the ad hominem "obviously you're not smart enough to see what's so clear to the rest of us" portion of your argument.
Round Hole is a trademark now, just like San Mai is a trademark (trademark is "any name, symbol, figure, letter, word, or mark adopted and used by a manufacturer or merchant to distinguish a product or products from the ones manufactured or sold by others"). That you believe Thompson should not have been permitted to register "a common grouping of words" is irrelevant; the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Cold Steel the trademark.
Since Cold Steel trademarked San Mai III back in the 1980s, for decades San Mai equated to Cold Steel. Up until a couple of years ago, if you Googled "san mai," you didn't get a single hit that wasn't about a Cold Steel knife. Then recently that term started seeing use by a few knife manufacturers and numerous knife makers. All of a sudden, it was the hot buzzword (thanks, at least in part, to Forged In Fire). Why would anyone blame Cold Steel for protecting its trademark when people began making money from and removing the exclusivity of a term that belonged to Cold Steel? I certainly wouldn't begrudge Spyderco for acting on its trademark if the same thing happened with its Round Hole.
The fact is, on these boards, some companies are adored and some are vilified...over and over and over again. The hypocrisy and double standards get really tiresome.

P.S. - For those who don't know me (which is, for all intents and purposes, every person here), I want to clarify that my comparison with Spyderco was in no way a disparagement of Sal Glesser or his company. I'm merely drawing comparisons in the way the actions of different brands are characterized. I've met Sal Glesser and Lynn Thompson and have enjoyed speaking with both. I like Spyderco and Cold Steel, along with pretty much every other knife company out there. I have no idea why people feel the need to play favorites so vociferously.
