I don't think pinterest are going to, nor should they win this, they are claiming "common usage rights*" over generic words whose use to indicate pinning to a screen predate the existence of pinterest....I have software that did that in 1998..some of it actually called pinboard..and using "virtual " graphic image "pins"..

And the irony of what is currently the worlds largest crowd sourced copyright and IP abuser calling the kettle "black" over trademark and IP infringement is immense..even if the respondent does have form..

*only in the USA..could a corp try to fly that one..
