ReviewsIntel Also Wants to Set "Netbook" Free.
It seems that Dell isnt the only one looking to strip Psion of its netbook trademark. Now Intels part of the liberation party.
The Courthouse News hosts a copy of the legal filing from Intel (PDF) with a complaint against Psion for its apparent trademarked term of netbook. Intel states that the term netbook is now adopted by consumers to refer to notebook computers that are small, inexpensive, and contain less processing power, making them optimal for connecting to the internet (or ˜net).
Intel believes that the term netbook is now generic and that the court should cancel Psions trademark.
With the likes of computer giants Intel and Dell so motivated free the term netbook from the grips of Psion, one has to figure that its only a matter of time.
