Go to http://tess2.uspto.gov/ and do a basic search on 'spark' and 'sparc'. Are they sending c & d letters to these people too?
If they're suing SparkFun it must mean they want to use it in some 'Fun With Sparc' marketing campaign. The agency that came up with the idea is now panicked because they didn't bother to do a domain search prior to the pitch and when it finally came up during last Tuesday's status meeting it was decided to send it to legal and the person 'who handles these things.'
May as well do a trademark search on 'backpedal' while we're at it.
I like SparkFun and have purchased from them. There is absolutely no confusing them with the other guys who push iron (and now databases) for a living.
