  1. Re:Echoing Ars Technica... by samj · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Psion Accuses Intel of Cybersquatting

    Psion have essentially given an amnesty to bloggers and journalists using the term "netbook" (which may prove reason enough in itself to take the trademark off them since any licensing must include quality assurance). That includes blogs with advertising as explained here:

    "where a blogger uses context sensitive advertising that is completely outside of its control (so it has no knowledge at all whether a 'Netbook' related advert will be placed in its blog site), then we're taking the view that we need to focus on working on persuading the featured retailer to adopt a term other than 'netbook'."

    This is why we believe the amnesty doesn't go far enough.

    It's unfortunate the Save the Netbooks campaign was not credited in the summary (nor many of the resulting articles) for uncovering Dell's petition to cancel (note that the linked document is in our account), even if only because we have the most complete collection of information and research on the topic.

    We've been working hard over the last days to overturn Psion's trademark and it was actually in the course of filing the petition to cancel that we discovered Dell had beaten us to it by a day! We're happy they're playing the white knight this time (after last year's "cloud computing" claim), and especially for their having added the "fraud" angle to our pleadings for abandonment and genericness.

    Anyway we wish them the best of luck, even though we don't think they'll need it.
