Since the USPTO shows two live registrations (from the same company)
for the term SENDERID, I can't say that I'm too reassured by that
legal analysis.  I can tell you from experience that if the USPTO
thinks a term is too generic, they won't accept a registration for it.

In the unlikely event that MARID recommends Microsoft's Sender-ID for
standardization in spite of its technical and patent problems, I agree
that it's no big deal at this stage to pick a different name.
