Intel sues Intel Logistics over, er, Intel name

But this time it's Intel that's suing a Texas corporation called Intel-Logistics over alleged trademark infringement. The case was filed in a Houston district court at the beginning of the month.

By combining "Intel" with the generic word "Logistics", the firm is causing confusion that Intel sources or sponsors Intel-Logistics' freight handling services, alleges Chipzilla in the suit.

Intel wants Intel-Logistics to stop doing this and stop doing it right now.

Intel-Logistics is based in Houston and acts as a broker for the transportation of goods and cargo, and also forwards freight and engages in third party logistics.

Intel-Logistics has a web site, here, and Intel wants Intel-Logistics to stop using that as well. Intel-Logistics, motto: "...makin' smarter moves", has been in business since 1993, according to that site.

Intel is accusing Intel-Logistics of "passing off". It wants damages and it wants the Intel-Logistics web site. µ
