Asus has said this week that the recent Hasbro lawsuit will not affect Transformer Prime tablet production.
The toy company is seeking an injunction on the tablet due to brand copyright violations. Transformers Prime is an animated TV series that launched in 2010, a new generation of the popular TV series from the 80s. As anyone who has watched the show or movies know, a Transformer turns from a robot into a vehicle like a truck or fighter jet to travel quicker. The Asus tablet "transforms" from a tablet into a laptop with a keyboard dock.
Spokesman Chang Wei-ming said "internal assessments conducted by the company found no patent infringement issues" and will not halt any production.
Hasbro wants Asus to stop using the Transformer name in current and future products and is also seeking monetary damages.
