Dell tried to trademark &quot;cloud computing&quot;.
Dell&#x27;s application (serial number 77139082) was made in early 2007 to the US Patent and Trademark Office, apparently in connection with data center products and services that it was promoting around that time. Maybe if they&#x27;d trademark it, we could go back to calling servers &quot;servers&quot;.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tarr.uspto.gov&#x2F;servlet&#x2F;tarr?regser=serial&amp;entry=77139082" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tarr.uspto.gov&#x2F;servlet&#x2F;tarr?regser=serial&amp;entry=77139...</a>
