Dell trademarks everything it does as 'Cross Cloud'

Dell has filed a trademark for 'Cross Cloud' that covers just about everything it does. And when we say everything we mean it: the trademark covers printer cartridges, servers, headphones, all manner of consulting services and even leasing. The descriptions of what the trademark covers run to 1,500 words. So what's Dell up to …

Hmm

Does this mean that nobody else can advertise 'cross-cloud' migration/computing services, etc. ? Maybe they'll need to call it 'intercloud' services.

Cross as in pissed off? Opens up opportunities to take the mick when something doesn't work.

"I use Cross Cloud"

"Well, I use Angry Cloud"

"Who cares! I use Pissed Cloud"

That's going to play really well in non-Christian markets.
