Sorry for the latish reply but I did a little research on this and
thought I would follow up.

Trademarks and scoped so that they refer to a particular field of
endevaor or class of products. In this case, the application would
cover the use the word Rosetta to cover:

  Computer software, computer code, computer firmware and application
  tools for testing, converting, programming and executing computer
  software, computer code and computer applications across software,
  computer and microprocessor platforms; software technology used for
  cross-platform computing, software code verification, testing and
  conversion.

It seems that our use of the Rosetta mark covers this as does several
other uses of the term in other software products.

Mako
