As far as I know MS don’t have a trademark on ‘UMPC’ (Craig Pringle – a Microsoft MVP also agrees – ‘they don’t have a trademark on the term UMPC’) and can’t even claim it (there are many previous references to ‘Ultra Mobile PC’ and I think i’m right in saying that you can’t trademark an acronym.)

Manufacturers of alternative ultra-mobile devices should do all they can to focus down on the UMPC term. Everyone will benefit.

So is it correct that 1. Intel does not own the trademark UMPC either and 2. neither Intel nor MS can even claim it? (Might need a few legal checks.)

If this is correct it could be smart to call the 770 etc an UMPC as well – although the device is quite different from the Intel/AMD/MS version of these devices and has its own advantages over these. This would leave the term UMPC as a broad category term while carrypad would be just one well-defined (?) niche within this broader UMPC space.

I know what you mean. Craig’s explanation can be good for us techies but for a normal person or a seller working in a store all these is very confused because they do not all these details.
