Same is true of my blog as I’ve reported on trademark issues within SL for some time (off and on). Some of what’s said may be of interest.

Also worth investigating how Linden Lab changed it’s policy wrt Trademark, as it tied into some other things that led them down their current path.

Lastly, the kinds of transreal data transfer you’re describing are what prompted me to post a blog entry that might be of interest: http://blog.rebang.com/?p=186 . The topic wasn’t really about grabbing 3D data and manufacturing a product from it, it was actually about the IP issues that capability raised.

I agree that this has the potential to be a big problem for companies in a few years. I did an overview of trademark infringement in Second Life a few months ago that may be interesting to your readers.
