Another MWallet, this one by MoreMagic

This MWallet is not by Motorola:
MWallet provides a stored value account that enables consumers to make secure payments. It offers consumers multi-channel top-up functionality. For the mobile operator, MWallet brings the benefit of offering a prepaid voucher solution without the production, distribution, and administration costs normally associated with physical prepaid vouchers.
I wonder what is the situation with the trademarks. A search ay USPTO for trademarks brings no results for mwallet (capitalization seems not to matter) but for M-Wallet reveals 2 abandoned applications (by Motorola !).
