funny thing, but assuming that kik is related to kik.com
if you look here http://dev.kik.com/build/, they promote their own server eg. "Our open source web server Zerver can help serve your cache manifest properly, as well as doing other speed boosting stuff like automatic style inlining."
I had my suspicions that this was all motivated by wanting to grab the npm package name "kik" and the fact that they use node and npm almost cements that for me. I have a feeling this was never about protecting trademarks at all.

this Zerver is on github and build with npm
https://github.com/jairajs89/zerver/blob/master/package.json
I did not run the build but I'm pretty sure that now their server is not building anymore as it depends on babel
call that irony ;) ?
