Don't give Lenovo any ideas.

  Ubuntu is nearly 20 years old. They need a ton of money to find a argument why that symbol is still protected.

    Lenovo doesn't have a case, it's a slap lawsuit. Ubuntu isn't targeted because it's not a competitor. The reason new companies can't compete in hardware is 1. Patents/IP, 2. Supply chain control and 3. Bad behavior from competing companies.

      It isn’t a slap lawsuit, it’s an lawsuit to prevent the trademark from being lost. You have to defend trademarks or you lose them. Chances are the suit is filed by their trademark lawyers or even third party, and no higher up at Lenovo had anything to do with it. I doubt their trademark is for the broken o though because that’s far too common. It’s more probable it is for the whole word including the stylized o. So the suit is pretty weak and only works because this is an opponent that probably isn’t going to be able to mount a defense.

    Ubuntu has been around a lot longer than the Legion laptop range so it would be them suing Lenovo I guess
