The US TM already expired beyond grace period so a new TM registration would be required. Afaik, there's no plans (and no funds) to do so.

Afaik, if we hold the EU TM, no.

I guess not, at least we can't (afford to) stop them.
At least they wouldn't be allowed to sell it under the Maemo name in the EU.
