Ah, I see.

I think you have far more English textbooks at hand than I do. :-)

I still think that those marks are used by trademark owners and their affiliated
parties. I don't think they are required in academic papers/textbooks.

If we go the opposite way, we might be safe to remove notes on trademarks
in the "Legal Statement" page, mightn't we?

As a compromise, we could add entries of above mentioned trademarks in
the legal page.

One thing we need to take care is the change of "ARM" to "Arm" as a text
trademark.

Thoughts?

        Thanks, Akira

PS:

Is there any plan to add a section on RISC-V in Chapter 15?
