While I support Dell in our previous lawsuit installment (not for what Dell did, but the way customer tricked the legal system into winning and thus encouraging other customers to do the same), I think this is a frivolous lawsuit at best.

Research In Motion (RIM), maker of the popular BlackBerry, is suing Samsung for its newly released smartphone, the BlackJack, for the “Black” in its name.

Um, seriously guys, trust me when I say this, no one who is looking for a smartphone is going to confuse BlackBerry with BlackJack. Sure, they may have the “Black” in their name, but they are on a completely different spectrum from two different companies.

And if someone does confuse himself with the name, you probably don’t want him buying the BlackBerry anyway. That’s just too dumb of a customer that I think you would rather skip on. But in all seriousness, who would confuse the two devices? And because of that, I think you, RIM, are trying to score a few dollars out of Samsung. Obviously, I would tell you how wrong you are, but you probably already know that.
