Psion Holds Netbook Trademark

Author: Chris

26 Dec

There’s this tiny company out there which says it owns the trademark for Netbooks. And the company is tired of having so many people around the web referring to tiny laptops as netbooks. The company used to make a tiny laptop too. It was called the Netbook and therefor it still has the trademark on the term. The computer didn’t make it as it never become a hit product and Psion hasn’t developed any new netbook since. Will Psion sue everyone that uses the term? Will the company start working on a new netbook of their own? So far they don’t even have a notebook on their site!
