I've never heard of it being trademarked, and I've been
using it for years.

** I believe that IBM did have the expression "PC"
trademarked at one point. That was during
their "Little Tramp" days. It was stupid of the
authorities to allow the trademark, since the
term was already in use throughout the industry
to mean "Personal Computer," but back then the
industry was small and the authorities were
computer-illiterate.

I don't believe I've seen IBM claiming "PC" as
a trademark recently.
