This is complete nonsense, There are a number of set areas of activity, (about 25 or so from memory) within whic a trademark can be protected.
For example I work with a company called Zetec, which has been in existance (industrial testing equipment and services) for around 35 years. An italian Ice-cream equipment company uses the same name, and of course Ford started using it for a type of engine a few years back. None of this causes anyone any problems.
If Intel push the cases, I'm sure there must be a company somewhere that has been using 'intel' in a trademark for longer - I'm sure they could countersue to stop Intel using the name - might be entertaining!
