Basis?
Who ever heard of them?

I mean, if you're using their product you already know their name, and I just don't understand why this needs to be fought over. Sure, it's the next great thing from RIM, but still.

You know, they registered the name for a reason. That is after all the point of registering unique names.

Though both are software they're not related at all... That's what happens when a court decides something according to lawyers' performance.

The point is they are both in the software market and BBx is already trademarked. RIM loses. It doesn't matter if they are in the same exact field in software, they are still close enough. The thing that gets me is how the hell didnt RIM know this was trademarked before making it official on their end?

Ok Basis now we know who you are...that was the whole point of bringing this lawsuit. Your 5 minutes of fame are over.

So, RIM wants to use BBX - yet some company is really only using BBx in which (x) is just a version letter.

Nobody is going to be confused. Like people get confused between Apple Records and Apple computers?

BBX was a good name...darn injunction.
