#TIL that CBS Studios used a DMCA takedown to get an Android app called Tricorder removed from app stores. They could claim with some justification that "tricorder' is a trademark (disclaimer; IANAL), but the name was not the problem. Apparently they were claiming to own a copyright on Michael Okuda's visual design for the Tricorder UI.
