Psion Accuses Intel of Cybersquatting

Save the Netbooks writes "We discussed Psion sending C&Ds late last year over international trademarks held on the term 'netbook' and Dell accusing Psion of fraud last week. Since then Intel has joined in by suing Psion in federal court. On Friday Psion counter-sued Intel (court filing, PDF). SaveTheNetbooks.com has an analysis here. Psion has demanded a jury trial, profits, treble damages, destruction of material bearing the mark 'netbook' and the netbook.com domain (among other things), claiming that they are still actively selling netbooks despite also revealing sales figures showing a minuscule market share. It seems that declaring victory may have been a little premature as it will be months before the dispute plays out in court."

    You dipshit.

    That's not what the poster said. Unfortunately, to understand poster's point you would have to know a bit about trademark law; I won't tire my fingers in vain. What a fuckin dipshit.

    And don't you understand that "the /. crowd" is not as concerned with "big guys" and "little guys" as it is with dangerous lawsuits?

    Viewing your posting history, I seriously believe that you have a personality disorder. I'm not kidding -- I don't think you are well. The amount of unfounded rage in your responses seems absolutely out of control. Go get help dipshit.
