Intel's trademark rights threatened by 17 artists


THE BIGGEST CHIP company in the known universe has caught a group of 17 artists in American town jeopardising its intellectual property by using the word "inside".

A report in the Boston Globe said that Intel has asked the artists' cooperative in Shelburne Falls, in Massachusetts, to stop using the phrase Art Inside as a name for its activities.

But it's shown it's no bully by offering to pay for a wooden sign worth $2,000 if the Art Inside collective agrees to its request.
