As far as I can tell, "NFC" itself isn't trademarked; it's used in the
ISO standard, and the Wikipedia page mentions several organizations like
NFC World, NFC Times, NFC Lab, and www.libnfc.org. (What _is_
trademarked is the "N-Mark": <http://www.nfc-forum.org/resources/N-Mark>.)

In recent kernels, the "ieee1394" subsystem has been replaced by the new
subsystem named "firewire" (and called "Juju").
