Trademark Trouble For RIM Over New "BBX" Name

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday October 20, 2011 @02:36PM from the hits-keep-coming dept.

AZA43 writes "As if its latest BlackBerry service outage--the worst in company history--and the mass exodus of BlackBerry users to iOS and Android weren't bad enough, RIM is now facing a potential trademark lawsuit over the name of its next generation BlackBerry OS: BBX. The BBX announcement was the most significant news to come from RIM's BlackBerry Developer Conference this week, and now it looks like RIM may have change the upcoming platform's name to something else. RIM just can't seem to do anything right these days."

LOL
RIM
If they can't use BBX, here's another name... by Logaan · 2011-10-20 15:44 · Score: 4, Funny

If BBX is supposed to be a combination of BlackBerry and QNX (BBX), and they can't use it, then they should just name it BlackBerry and QNX (BBQ).
Might be catchy; "Hey, I'll BBQ you later!"
