Research in Motion suing Samsung for their BlackJack smart phone

Samsung recently launched their BlackJack mobile phone to take on the popular RIM Blackberry device.

Research in Motion has now hit back with a lawsuit claiming that Samsung’s BlackJack smart phone violates the BlackBerry trademark.

RIM is asking the courts to stop Samsung from selling their BlackJack and Black Carbon mobile phones in the market.

They are also asking Samsung to pay unspecified damages. The filing in the court states: “Samsung is misleading the public into falsely believing that Samsung’s goods and services are connected with RIM’s business.”

Samsung has declined to comment on this issue saying: Samsung is not going to comment on pending litigation.”
