You might remember the DualCor cPC, the UMPC-like device that never really made it out of the gate. Not too sure why, but I know it has earned the title of Vaporware in many circles. Now, they have lashed out a Microsoft in the form of a frivolous lawsuit…

According to The Inquirer, DualCor (which changed its name from GCVI in December 2003) says it trademarked “DualCor” in May of 2004, and claims that Intel knew about the name as early as December of 2003. Now, DualCore is saying that by using the “Dual Core” name, Intel is “likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception among consumers as to the source quality and nature of DualCor’s goods.” As a result, DualCor is looking for more than a million dollars in damages, as well as an injunction to prevent Intel from using the “Dual Core” name any further.

Is this lawsuit a last ditch effort? Will we ever see the cPC? Who knows.
