Cisco a trademarked iPhone!!!
When Apple launched their smartphone and branded it the iPhone there was just one problem. The iPhone was already trademarked by Cisco which led to a lawsuit and an eventual settlement of the trademark back in 2007.
Earlier this year Apple announced their breakthrough tablet called the iPad. Again, there was just one problem. As we previously reported, the iPad trademark was already owned by Fujitsu. Once again, as part of some strange business plan, Apple has now acquired the trademark from Fujitsu according to the PatentAuthority.com website.
You’d think at some point Apple would pay someone to do a little research and get any trademark rights before launching a landmark product. Mind you, I’m starting to think that it’s Apple’s game plan to get a previously owned trademark by pressuring the owner into selling it by stealing the association of a trademark with their own product.
Did Steve Jobs new about anything about CISCO?
