I do know a bit about trademark law and Intel is trying to extend the law to extreme limits. Sure, if I ran a computer company and used Inside with my products, Intel would have a claim, just as McDonalds does with any restaurant operation that uses "McD" in the title. However, there is no possibility of trademark infringement or dilution if the product, or in this case a service, Yoga classes, has no connection whatsoever with the trademarked product. Intel's claim isn't frivolous, but it should be rejected by a court if the case proceeds to litigation. The reality, however, is that Intel with its resources can scare the hell out of any small company and force that company to concede defeat simply to avoid the costs of litigation and attorneys fees. Again, what a lovely corporation.
