Sadly it seems to be going the other way. One of the leading clothing chains here (M&S?) got into a lot of trouble for a producing a "microsoft" grade of women's tights, even though the offending word was on a small label that could only be seen by closely inspecting the item in question. Eventually they were allowed to continue using the word providing (1) the label was on the inside only and (2) the word was not used on men's underwear.
