I just looked at their website which says they've been around since 2001. The term "smartbook" didn't start floating around til much later than then. I just did a google search though, and I can see your point. It's difficult to find any information on the company that doesn't have to do with its lawsuit.<br><br>But that's probably because the story has been reproduced a lot, while they company itself doesn't maintain much of a web presence.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2009 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Qualcomm forbidden to use "smartbook" by order of German court]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/qualcomm-forbidden-to-use-smartbook-by-order-of-german-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/qualcomm-forbidden-to-use-smartbook-by-order-of-german-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[That "smart" and "book" aren't German words actually strengthens their case, since it makes  the new word less generic. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2009 2:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Qualcomm forbidden to use "smartbook" by order of German court]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/qualcomm-forbidden-to-use-smartbook-by-order-of-german-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/qualcomm-forbidden-to-use-smartbook-by-order-of-german-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[I missed the 1-800 craze (1-800-collect, 1-800-call-att, etc.) I'm not going to miss out on this one!

The company called "Smartbook" wants to protect their brand.<br>It's should not be that hard for a huge company to check the local trademark offices (at least in US/EU) if the name is already in use.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[liquidspace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2009 11:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Qualcomm forbidden to use "smartbook" by order of German court]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/qualcomm-forbidden-to-use-smartbook-by-order-of-german-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/qualcomm-forbidden-to-use-smartbook-by-order-of-german-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yup, don't mess with the Germans.
