GA Russell Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 HP from 2006 to 2012 sold an app called The Chubby Checker without Chubby Checker's permission. Checker is suing, claiming trademark infringement. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/16/us-hp-chubbychecker-lawsuit-idUSBRE97F0SR20130816 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
