<description><![CDATA[ A few years back, we noted Apple's trademark overreach in trying to stop any electronic device <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060814/023249.shtml">with "pod"</a> as part of its name.  This is, of course, silly.  However, most companies have ended up backing down.  One is still fighting.  Sector Labs, which is making a video projector called the Video Pod, is apparently ready and willing to <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/09/apple-goes-to-trial-with-startup-over-pod-trademark/" target="_blank">go to court and fight Apple on this</a>.  As we pointed out back when Apple started going pod-crazy, it's worth remembering that it was Apple's lawyers who brought back the now popular <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060330/1829246.shtml">moron in a hurry test</a> in its trademark lawsuit against the Beatles' Apple Corp.  They might find themselves on the other end of that test fairly soon.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100924/03333011147/battle-of-the-pod-people-apple-sector-labs-heading-to-court-over-pod-trademark.shtml">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100924/03333011147/battle-of-the-pod-people-apple-sector-labs-heading-to-court-over-pod-trademark.shtml#comments">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100924/03333011147/battle-of-the-pod-people-apple-sector-labs-heading-to-court-over-pod-trademark.shtml?op=sharethis">Email This Story</a><br />
