If correct, then we must all cease using this term. I prefer the word "tank" I doubt anyone can copyright or register this term. Nowadays, I guess, everyone is after litigation if they can get it.
yes indeed litigaion is rampant.The original term I believe for a Terarium was a "Wardian case" and was commonly used in Victorian times.Here is a link to a wikipedia article about them

Wardian case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Myself I think I its just petty to be nit picking about people using the term if they arent using it commercially. I will be sure to never buy a commercial product that uses that name now just to be sure their trademark is not infringed in any way.
