The question is more complex than whether or not OLPC received a trademark.
Was it ever applicable to our use in Sugar? Is it still valid? Note that "a
failure to enforce a trademark by monitoring the mark for misuses will
result in a weakening of the mark and loss of distinctiveness, which can
lead to a loss of the trademark." [1] Sugar Labs has been using
xo-computer.svg and has never, as far as I know, received any notification
that we are infringing. I don't know the answers to these questions, which
is why I asked that our lawyer look into it.
