Motorola Xoom Get Sued for Namesake of a Xoom Corp.

Feb. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The old saying goes well when someone or something become popular and hot, troubles will find them for better or worse. It has been a long time ever after Motorola was announced, launched and finally hit the market. Never have we heard that there is a company would also have a name like Xoom. But just a few days later after Motorola Xoom were put a price tag and have been reaching customers, Motorola Xoom, this hottest android tablet, is involved into lawsuit due to trade mark issue: one money transfer company has this name, Xoom, since 2003.


Xoom Corp. says it has actively used the name for its website since 2003, and has an incontestable trademark on it. Yesterday, just before all the advance reviews were published, law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius filed a trademark suit with the US District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of San Francisco-based money transfer company Xoom Corporation. The company's complaint said, Xoom's trade name and the XOOM products have become associated exclusively with Xoom. Until [the] Defendants' adoption of the Xoom brand without authorization from Xoom, Xoom to its knowledge was the only entity using the name or mark for online product offerings."


It appears the majority of the complaint revolves around the financial company's website, and the potential disruption to business caused by Motorola's purchase of the keyword "Xoom" on Google and other search engines. Typing the query into Google actually reveals both companies in the sponsored links section, and the first "natural" search result is still Xoom.com. In the suit, it asks for permanent injunction and treble damages pending an immediate "temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction".
