A porn studio claims to have been violated. By an HTC phone.
U.S. entertainment site TMZ reports that Vivid Entertainment has sent a cease and desist letter to HTC, saying that the HTC Vivid infringes on its trademark.
Vivid is no small player in the night time entertainment industry. It's the company that brought us such household names as (link NSFW) Kim Kardashian's and Paris Hilton's sex tapes.
Still, it's a bit of a stretch to think that consumers might get confused between Vivid the phone, and Vivid the naughty film makers.
Are the minds of Vivid's video viewers so addled they can't distinguish the two? Well, possibly.
TMZ says that the letter threatens HTC with court if they don't change the phone's name by Monday.
No word yet on whether HTC could remdy the situation by creating a branded, specialist phones for the confused Vivid fans.
