Psion counter-sues Intel over trademark infringment

Thinking about buying a netbook, you might have to call it something else.  Psion trademarked the name 'netbook' back in the early 2000s on a series of notebook computers. They didn't sell well and the line was ultimately discontinued in 2006.  Now other companies such as Dell, HP, MSI, Asus, Acer and others are selling small notebook computers and calling them Netbooks. Psion is claiming this infringes on their trademark. Intel and Dell have insisted that the name "netbook" has been abandoned and should be considered generic and have made a legal request that Psion be stripped of the trademark.  Psion is counter suing.
