Qualcomm can’t legally use the term ’smartbook’ anymore
Author: Jeff1 Sep
If you’ve been paying attention you’ll know that a few days ago a law suit arose between Smartbook AG and anyone using the term ‘smartbook‘. One such company by the name of Qualcomm has been known to make use of said term.
Unfortunately for them, a German court has recently forbid Qualcomm from using the term as Smartbook AG says it is an “absurd” and “bold attack” on its brand. If Qualcomm does not follow the court’s wishes they could face a fine of up to €250,000 (over $350,000 USD) and/or arrest. Ouch.
