Intel sues man over Intel name @ The Inquirer

Regeneration · 02:23 PM

Intel filed a legal action against Mr Sean Torongeau. Torongeau, it said, is trading as PROINTELL and that might confuse people and devalue Chipzilla's mark. "By combining Intell with the generic and laudatory term 'pro', Defendant has caused and is likely to continue to cause confusion that Intel is the source of sponsor of Defendan'ts computer services, or that there is an association or relationship between the companies."

Wow! This is simply disgusting to see how cruel they are. What a bunch of greedy bastards. Personally, I think that ‘Intel’ can be also used as a shortcut for the word ‘Intelligence’ as well. Intel have no rights on the English language.

Intel owns US trademark registration number 2,251,962 so it can use it on piggy banks, trophies, money clip pendants, charms, and belt buckles. And jewellery.

And it has rights to use Intel on playing cards, paperweights, rubbers (erasers), and bookends.

Oh, and 2,254,525 lets it use Intel on gym suits, hards, ties, cardigans, scarves and infant rompers. And stuffed toys, board games, bean bags, and Christmas tree ornaments.

This is killing me!
