Intellectual property management company ISYS Technologies, US, has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Internet search services provider Google, Inc., US, alleging that the latter is violating and interfering with the trademark of its ChromiumPC Modular Computer.
The suit seeks an expedited temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Google and its partners (Acer, Amazon.com, Best Buy and Samsung) to stop further marketing efforts of the Chromebook and Chromebox PC products, as well as plans to begin selling these PC products on or about June 15, 2011. All five companies are named in the federal lawsuit that was filed in the US District Court at Utah.
Slated for general availability in the second half of 2011, the ChromiumPC is a version of the company's Xi3 Modular Computer which was formally unveiled in 2010. It was named by the Consumer Electronics Association as an Innovations Award Winner in the Computer Hardware category for the 2011 International CES trade show.
