Jealousy?

http://www.tgdaily.com

Hmmm... a bit garbled and weak on analysis. For what it's worth, here's the takeaway: "The use of the word 'intel' was in circulation before the company was founded. But Intel is very jealous of its trademark name, and doesn't hesitate to take legal action against any firm or organization that attempts to use it."

Going Too Far

Here's a mention of the case on the widely read technology and trademark blog TechDirt: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091117/1151596970.shtml.

We like this choice quote:

"Finally, after more than two years of this back and forth, Intel sued Mexico Watch, even though it's not even close to competitive and any "moron in a hurry" (as the popular trademark test notes) would clearly know the difference between a site about Mexican politics and a company selling microprocessors."
