PC Week in the company MakTsentr "read completely, from cover to cover. Therefore, when he came sixth number, the last page immediately discovered was an article "Basil tries skin" palm "cat." Author's name is not listed, call it for clarity Cat. If we reject kotyachi philosophizing, the article will be three simple and clear thought. First - the project "Russian Palm", recently launched by "MakTsentr" suspicious, because the package is sold for money, although includes some free programs. The second - the very name of the package is doubtful, because someone came up with it before, but failed to get permission Palm, Inc. to use it. The third idea is not so transparent, in my opinion, this is some sort of attack on the Moscow office of Microsoft. The last point we will not comment with your hands, and the first two I would like to discuss. So, what is "Russian Palm"? A set of software, literature and accessories to facilitate Russian buyer acquaintance and work with the Pocket PC platform Palm OS. In "The Russian Palm" includes the following program (version 1.02)

What this list has caused the cat allergy? A program CyrHack? Then hasten to assure all the cats that we have official permission from all rights holders to place their products on the disk. Some of these products - PaPiRus, Silkyboard - pay the rest - free of charge. Nothing wrong with that. The package comes in a very impressive volume, since all the dealers' MakTsentr "complement them with your device. A small portion goes to the free market. The existence of this package, no doubt, are interested not only users, but our Russian developers. We invite all developers who write under the Palm, to cooperate. Placement program at our drive - the shortest path to the user. The second claim concerns the Cat project name. In our view, it is very good. And as sighs, "we came up with this before," we can sympathize with - the slogan "Russian Palm" was first used in Russia to publicly name of our company. Please accept condolences. Concern for the rights of the Cat Palm, Inc. the name of the Palm course, and we share. This company is itself a while ago, faced with a lawsuit from French firm Pilot on the use of the same name. Since then, all pilots were called Palm. So anxious attitude Palm, Inc. to its trademark as well known, especially in cases where the illegal use may result in damage to the company or misinformation to customers. A draft of the "Russian Palm" The situation is quite different. In the photo you can see the delegation Palm Germany, together with staff MakTsentr after fruitful negotiations.

On the table lies raspotroshenny package "Russian Palm". Everybody is happy and smiling. Without false modesty, but only to reassure the patient kotyachyu conscience can say that the European guidance Palm, Inc.highly appreciated our efforts to localize the product, whose concentration and was a project "Russian Palm". So most likely none of Palm, Inc. will not hesitate to contact us with a lawsuit. To do this, there are other reasons that will interest fans of legal technicalities. Palm trademark was registered in Russia. However, it is not made by Palm, Inc., A certain individual, which is called Dr. Karin Schutz (Dr. Karin Schuttze), back in 1992, when even the "Newton" (device) was not. Register held by the section relating to medical devices, biochemical, laboratory, etc., supplies, and maintenance of such equipment. That is in Russia now claims for unauthorized use of the word Palm can produce only the registered owner of the brand - Dr. Schutz. We have filed a request for registration of the mark "Russian Palm" under the heading "Software for computers." However, the application is likely to be rejected for the following reason. Article 6 of the Law "On Trademarks, Service Marks and Appellations of Origin, states:" shall not be registered trade marks consisting only of symbols that are generally adopted symbols and terms. " A word of Palm in the computer world is that of "common term" and is, not to mention the word "Russian." This is easily seen, for example, by opening the relevant articles of the popular vocabulary Lingua 6.5 ". Thus, we are ready to accept claims from the owner of brands Palm, where they suddenly appear, but this is unlikely, because his interests are not infringed. Hello cats!
