Dell Loses Bid For Cloud Computing Trademark
<a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/149926/dell_loses_bid_for_cloud_computing_trademark.html">PC World</a>
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has denied Dell its application to trademark the phrase "cloud computing.""In addition to being merely descriptive, the applied-for mark appears to be generic in connection with the identified services and, therefore, incapable of functioning as a source-identifier for applicant's services," said the USPTO, whose "non-final" decision, dated Aug. 12, gives Dell six month to respond before the application is abandoned.
Dell first filed the application for the popular phrase with the USPTO in March 2007; early last month the application reached the "notice of allowance" phase, which is issued after the completion of an opposition period and when "it appears that the applicant is entitled to a patent under the law."PC World
