"I do not believe that Psion Teclogix should be allowed to own the name "Netbook", yet to send cease and desist letters to other websites who rave about them. This is stupid on many levels, the first of course, it is free advertising. What if every business started trademarking the product they do best, McDonalds would own the term "hamburger", Ford would own the term "SUV" and Google would own the internet... Please show your support to many of the other websites by contacting and boycotting Psion. The world needs to be freed from these companies who launch these pointless and frivolous cases"

Wrongful or groundless threats of infringement

Various jurisdictions have laws which are designed to prevent trademark owners from making wrongful threats of trademark infringement action against other parties. These laws are intended to prevent large or powerful companies from intimidating or harassing smaller companies.

Where one party makes a threat to sue another for trademark infringement, but does not have a genuine basis or intention to carry out that threat, or does not carry out the threat at all within a certain period, the threat may itself become a basis for legal action. In this situation, the party receiving such a threat may seek from the Court, a declaratory judgment; also known as a declaratory ruling.]]>Dec 24th 2008 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/psion-teklogix-sending-out-cease-and-desist-letters-to-netbook-cen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/psion-teklogix-sending-out-cease-and-desist-letters-to-netbook-cen/
