Psion: we still sell the Netbook Pro

Per jkOnTheRun, Psion has responded to them regarding its "netbook" trademark. With Dell and Intel recently filing petitions asking for the cancellation of Psion’s “netbook” trademark, citing abandonment of the “netbook” term since Psion was no longer selling the product, Psion has countered that it in fact had multi-million dollar sales of the Netbook ® Pro computer in both the US and the EU. It seems the bulk of the sales were to highly specialised supply chain logistics implementations, explaining for the lack of retail visibility. Nevertheless they still count as real sales to real customers, thus lending validity to their claim. So even if manufacturing has been been discontinued, sales apparently have not been - reinforcing Psion's stand that it has not abandoned the trademark.
