According to msmobiles.com, Samsung is being sued by RIM over its naming of its BlackJack Windows Smartphone. Hard to imagine that RIM feels the need to sue over half a name.
I was behind RIM as it battled NTP over their ridiculous IP lawsuits a year ago, believing that they were wrongfully brought against the Canadian company. Now I’m just disappointed that RIM would bring such a frivolous lawsuit against Samsung over the name of it’s latest Smartphone.
Yes, “BlackJack” is similar in part to “Blackberry”, but that is to be expected in such a competitive marketplace such as smart phones. Where RIM needs to focus it’s attention is in product development. The Blackberry is still quite a bit behind Windows Mobile, Palm, and Symbian in a number of areas outside email features.
