CHIP GIANT Intel is taking legal action in a California court against a firm called Intell Detection Systems.
Intel said that Intell also trades as Intell Security Systems and claims Intel's trademark is diluted because people might confuse Intell for Intel.

Intell, not Intel, installs security and alarm systems for commercial and residential properties.

The 22 page court filing includes the priceless information that Intel, with one L, uses the mark for travel bags, luggage, school bags, back packs, beach bags, duffel bags, fanny packs and umbrellas.

Also for t-shirts, beachwear, cardigans, infant rompers, suits, scarves and neckties.

And mugs, and sports bottles as well as stuffed toys, plush toys, dolls, bean bags, games, and Christmas tree ornaments. Oh, and keyrings.

thats fair enough to take legal action, as it CAN be confused as the same company, or associates of inteL

I must agree with Intel..
I once bought 100 pack of CDs by Maxel instead of Maxell

thinking about it from a personal angle, if i had set something up and people continually went ahead copying my 'name' and/or idea, then i would say something.
