I do agree that while that page may have unenforceable clauses, MR not having to deal with the nasty letters is the way to go.

I only haven't deleted this post because you're not JSWolf.
You're entirely correct that
Bionic and
Reading are ordinary words and it would be difficult to get a trademark for them individually.
Bionic Reading, however, as a two-word phrase
has been granted a trademark. In exactly which territories and in what business context I haven't bothered to look up. But it seems to me that it's entirely possibly that it's enforceable in a court of law, and the OP was very sensible not to use that for their plugin's name.
