Motorola Sued Over Xoom Name

It appears Motorola either didn't do any research into the Xoom name before launching their new tablet, or they just didn't care that another company has used the name for 8 years, including owning Xoom.com.

Engadget has news of problems lurking for Motorola...

"...Xoom Corporation says Motorola needs to ditch the name of its new Honeycomb-laden slate. That's right, Xoom has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit asking for monetary damages, a temporary restraining order, and / or a preliminary injunction to spoil Moto's release party for its new tablet. In case you're curious, Xoom (the company) does seem to predate the slate by a good bit: it's been operating its online payments business under that name and has owned the www.xoom.com domain since 2003. Xoom got a registered service mark for its money transfer and e-payment services in 2004."
