New Intel Trademark Filed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gross-conjecture-reigns dept.

jmanforever writes "Reuters is reporting that 'Intel Inside VIIV' and 'Intel VIIV' were filed as U.S. trademarks. The question is, what does VIIV mean? Could this be the Roman numerals for 6-4 indicating a 64-bit chip, or could this be the Roman numeral five twice, separated by two lines, indicating the dual cores of the Pentium 5 chip?"

    Why do we do all of this Apple rumormongering? I mean, really, with all of these stories about Apple making the front page, you'd think Slashdot was totally astroturfing on Apple, and completely ignoring making ridiculous conjectures about companies like Intel... ...oh wait.

  3. Not so Funny: Trademark Theft in China by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Intel can register all the trademarks that it wants, but such registration means nothing in China. China (which includes Taiwan province and Hong Kong) is a hotbed of trademark theft, in addition to theft of intellectual property. Don't believe me? Just go to Yahoo! Search and search for the articles.

    Chinese companies frequently take an American product, like a set of golf clubs, and replicate them in their entirety, including the trademark and the holographic (!) seal on the box. The copies are then sold back in the United States.

    Conscience? Ethics? No such words in the Chinese dictionary.
