RIM files 'SurfBook' trademark in Canada, who’s up for some ‘HairBook’?

Okay, sometimes big corporates will go and trademark any names that they think of during lunch time, the patents first and ask questions later concept. So it’s no shocker to see RIM filing the name “SurfBook”. The name “SurfBook” was filed in early August, only to show up in Canada’s filing system recently. But seriously, you can’t blame us for imagining much funny stuff when you go and file a word that has a “Book” and “Surf” in it. Ok. Perhaps filing a patent with the word “Book” is nothing worth nothing ten years back but not these days.

There’s no matching documentation in the USPTO just yet. Surfing a site called “SurfBook”, or accessing the cyberspace using a “SurfBook”. RIM, what on earth happened to your BlackPad? No more love for the black? Maybe we’ll get a “SurfPad” to surf with, you know?
