IANAL, but I believe proving our anteriority wrt to the name "Pirate
Party" should be enough to prevent such situations -- except if said
"trademark" was to be used in a totally different context, e.g. to
sell pencils or whatever, in which case we wouldn't win even with a
registered trademark.

(BTW I'm really looking forward to see "Pirate Party" pencils and
supermarkets everywhere ;)
