Some random thoughts:

I'm intrigued with the concept of utilizing LSI as a workaround for trademark infringement issues.

I've used LSI keyword tools in the past and have determined that the recommendations were terms that would typically be used to describe the subject matter anyway and therefore provided little value. Perhaps others have discovered better tools.

Performing a search for the trademarked term and reverse engineering the content of the fist few results might help.

As long as the content is germane to the query, then usability should not be an issue.

If my product/service is interchangeable with "trademarked keyword" then I don't see an ethics issue. I'm interested in seeing other responses - perhaps I've missed an important point.
