This is going to be very uncomfortable when Supermicro sues Canonical over a trademarked term.
Supermicro has been selling Microclouds for years, and is a well known product line in the industry.
- tw04 3y agoJust like it was a very uncomfortable situation when Anderson sued Microsoft over the term windows? Canonical is selling a piece of software, supermicro a line of servers. And based on their own site it isn’t trademarked. Notice there’s no r next to the microcloud server but there is next to microblade. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/blade https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/blade
