Several weeks ago Garmin announced a GPS and phone hybrid device called the nüvifone.
But all is not right in nuvi-ville.
Business phone service provider Nuvio has filed a lawsuit against Garmin claiming that Garmin has violated Nuvio’s trademark over the name nüvifone.
Nuvio CEO Jason P. Talley said “while we would have preferred to settle this without resorting to a lawsuit, we felt it was important to ensure that our customers and potential customers are not confused by someone abusing our legally protected trademark…our customers commonly refer to our service as the Nuvio phone.”
A cease and desist order was served to Garmin on January 31.
