X is a specific term used for a person performing a specific act. It is derived from a practice followed by English policemen to alert fellow officers and/or public of a crime. The term X also made it to TIME magazine's 'person of the year' list in 2002 and was collectively represented by Cynthia Cooper of WorldComm, Coleen Rowley of the FBI and Sherron Watkins of Enron. It is debatable whether people assume the role of X for personal glory or in the interest of the public.

Question for August 22 - Kiran Vyakaranam
How about some X, Y and Z :)
X has been most recognized for use by Y for well over a century. Over the years Y used a few other adaptions/variations of X in order to spread its influence and reach around parts of the world where X was not acceptable. Although Y obtained protection for use of X internationally in 1864, it was not until 1905 that the Unites States initiated the procedures to pass a law to that effect. Since at that time several other entities were already using X , the United States law made conditional accommodations to allow preexisting usage of X by entities other than Y to continue while prohibiting any new entities from adopting X post 1905. One of these conditions was that the other entities must be using X for 'the same purpose' and 'class of goods' as Y.
The most notable of these entities - using X prior 1905 - was Z. In 2007, Z took Y to court over 'alleged trademark infringements' and 'violation of a prior agreement' on usage of X. The lawsuit was dismissed by the court and was later settled out of court allowing both Y and Z to continue using X as a trademark. Identify X,Y and Z. No points for googling. No points for a part answer.
