Although I'm not a lawyer I think this is pretty clear, both doodle plugins should be renamed and everybody who is using these plugins should be aware of this issue and change to the renamed version as soon as it will be available.uhh, anyone can claim trademark on anything. it doesnt meant it's enforceable.
This is especially so when the word is already in common use. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doodle It is not even included in this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doodle_(disambiguation)I hope that they are not claiming rights over the piece of paper that is on my desk :)
