Odd thought occurred to me: I've seen various OGL games run hoops and hurdles around the compatibility issue, claiming, probably the most popular wording, "Compatibility with the Third edition of the World's most popular Role-Playing Game."
Could a product legally say, however, "Compatible with the Wizards of the Coast System Reference Document?" or "Compatible with the rules in the Wizards of the Coast System Reference Document?" Would this violate any trademarks?
I'm not using this as a basis for any work - I'm just aesthetically curious, and looking for lawyerly and non-lawyerly opinions.
