I do n’t make out about you , but I often get confused between fictional robot that can acquire the variant of everyday objects , and fancy young Android tablet . as luck would have it , toymaker Hasbro feel my bother .
Last weekHasbro sued Asusover the name of its Transformer Prime tablet . Specifically , Hasbo ’s citingtrademark 85008156 , a pending trademark for “ Transformers Prime , ” its 2010 animate serial publication .
I hazard it ’s easy to see why : Transformers , Optimus Prime , Transformers Prime , Transformer Prime . I ca n’t tell which is which !
Seriously , though , surely this is a heroic attempt to win some John Cash on Hasbro ’s part , rather than — as they arrogate — “ aggressively protect[ing ] its brands ” . Come on . Who ’s going to order an Asus tablet in error when what they really wanted was a poser ofBumblebee ? Yeah , exactly : nobody . [ Moco NewsviaThe Verge ; persona : Sudhamshu ]
