The popular ASUS Transformer Prime has caught our attention here at AllTouchTablet, as the first tablet to challenge the iPad status quo in terms of performance & premium feel (it only remains for the software to catch up), but also has drawn attention from Hasbro, the owner of the popular Transformers franchise that started with children toys and then expanded to the big screen with movies and TV series.As a result, Hasbro is suing Asus for the trademark infringement of the 'transformer...

I'm eagerly awaiting to test the HP Touchpad, especially since I've seen the official videos released by HP, but that's not going to happen for at least a few weeks from now. Apparently HP is very confident on their tablet and the WebOS operating system, so it managed to register trademarks for another five TouchPad product names: TouchPadFlex, TouchPadPro, TouchPadTwin, TouchPadGeo, TouchPad7, and TouchPadGo.Right now this is the only info available, but let's not just limit ourselves to f...

We all know HP has bought Palm this year to save them from their misery, but no actual plans were announced, besides the HP's intention to put WebOS in future printers (yes, it's right) and tablets. We also know HP has delayed its plans to launch the Slate tablet, powered by Windows 7. You might think that HP is losing it, but they recently filed a trademark for the PalmPad name, a device that would fall into one of the following categories: Computers, computer hardware, computer software, comp...

Meizu is a Chinese company well known for its 'copy skills' and was made famous by its M8 clone of the iPhone. Now they're back (again at Apple) with the Mbook tablet, a near perfect copy of the iPad. Let's not dismiss it all around just because it looks like an iPad copy, as many other bigger manufacturers will surely copy in a way or another the Apple looks for their forthcoming tablets.Speaking about the Meizu Mbook specs, we have an 8.4 inch screen with 1024 x 768 pixels resolution, an 1...

It's not a shock per say, but just me being a little ironic about some news around the web that are interpreted the same way (aka the wrong way) by everyone that writes about the same subject (here and here). In this case is about the UK based X2 company that announced their slate type tablet called iTablet. They all say Apple is going to fight back, but none of them said anything about the trademark belonging to the Copertino company or not.Dudes, if X2 would have named their product iPad t...

If you ask someone about China's place in the IT&C worlds most people would say they're the ones that copy everything that flies/swims/walks on this Earth. Well, not all Chinese companies are built the same and the difference that comes to my mind is Shenzhen Great Long Brother Industrial Co. which intends to sue Apple over iPad design because they've filed a patent for a similar device, P88 in China in May 2009, a tablet that was also introduced at IFA Berlin last year. They know that in US...

The ink didn't even dried out on the Apple's iPad announcement and it seems the first lawsuit against it is getting served as both Fujitsu and an unknown company, Mag-Tek, have the right to use the iPad name. Personally I don't understand why Apple chose the iPad name as it know the trademark it's being fought over since 2002 when Fujitsu and Mag-Tek argued who can use it, one for a Windows CE point of sale device (Fujitsu's) and the other for a PIN-entry keypad. The current status to iPad trade...
