Where did "111" come from?

Intel presented a similar challenge back in the days when all their processors were numerically designated and marketed 286, 386, 486... AMD and a few others were more than happy to use the same numeric designations in the names of their competing products. Intel sued and found out that you cannot trademark a number, hence the scrapping of the 586 and the introduction of the Pentium.

This of course may be completely irrelevant since this has nothing to do with European law.
