That is true, but Microsoft's list (available at
http://www.microsoft.com/trademarks/docs/mstmark.rtf) is "a current list
of all of Microsoft's trademarks" [registered and unregistered]
(http://www.microsoft.com/trademarks/t-mark/names.htm).

The only mention of .NET is the .NET logo, and Passport is the Passport
logo.  No trademark, registered or otherwise, of the phrase ".NET" or
"Passport."  All according to Microsoft, who must defend their trademarks
or lose them, so I think they'd list them.
