Dell Fails to Trademark Term ‘Cloud Computing’

August 18, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

The US Patent and Trademark Office has already denied Dell‘s request to trademark the term “cloud computing” , according to consultant Sam Johnston. This comes as no surprise.

According to Johnston, the USPTO has issued a “non-final action” that denies the application, ruling that the term cloud computing is “a descriptive term of art in the relevant industry” and also “generic in connection with the identified services and, therefore, incapable of functioning as a source-identifier for applicant’s services.”

Remains to be seen of Dell will dispute the decision.

Anyone care to file a trademark request for ‘virtualization’ in the meantime?
