Vivid Entertainment wants HTC to change the name of one of its smartphones

Quote:

Adult movie studio Vivid Entertainment wants HTC to change the name of one of its smartphones, HTC Vivid, as it fears users might think the two are somehow connected.

Vivid Entertainment has sent HTC a cease & desist letter, threatening legal action if HTC doesn?t change the name of the smartphone by next Monday, Nov 21.

HTC Vivid ?creates the false impression that your company and your company?s products are affiliated, connected, or associated with and or sanctioned by Vivid Entertainment,? said Vivid?s attorney Mark Hoffman in a statement.

I hope it's just a publicity stunt which is par for the course at Vivid. Otherwise, they must be complete douchebags.

Due to Vivid's trademarks and how heavily branded they are they may be required to enforce it even in a case like this where there's clearly no confusion between Vivid Video and HTC Vivid.

Que the legal experts for their $.02...

Any publicity is good publicity right? I'm sure having some papers filed with HTC is sure to get some publicity. Even if it is just for some notoriety..it's working :)

classic PR stunt by Vivid. If they just wanted them to change/stop using the name, they wouldn't have made a press release about sending HTC a C&D letter..
