I seem to recall that SSH Communications threw a fit over people using the (trademarked?) name of their product to describe compatible implementations, such as OpenSSH or LSH. Meanwhile, the protocol defined by the IETF documents is actually called SECSH (SECure SHell).
This is from memory and I'm not sure how SSH Communications's threats against OpenSSH played out. Anyone able to update me?

I was not anymore aware of that. The claims are ridiculous but of course we should use the term as used in the IETF draft.
Trademarking a standard protocol name effectivly makes that standard useless.
