Apple loses right to iPhone brand in Mexico
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, November 02 2012 @ 02:24 PM EDT

Geeze, is Apple the Church of Scientology of the tech world? Is there ANYTHING
they won't try to sue for?

Serves them right.

Apple loses right to iPhone brand in Mexico

It'd be fun to see iFone file a UDRP complaint about eg. iphone.com. The win should be pretty much automatic: iFone has a trademark registration, it pre-dates Apple's by years, and by Apple's own admission in their filing Apple's trademark is confusingly similar to iFone's registered mark.

What were they thinking? Why not try to buy them off, pay them to change the
name to something else or whatever? Whoever is making the litigation decisions
for Apple seems to be seriously misguided.

This is what happens when you decide that "thermonuclear war" is
justified and use your lawyers to wage it. Perhaps they should have made sure
that they were right before complaining.

Apple was in a trademark dispute in Canada with a VOIP company which had the
iPhone name well before Apple went into the phone business. It was eventually
settled by Apple buying the trademark and the VOIP company re-branding their
products.

The company which originally owned the brand said they simply couldn't afford to
fight Apple.

Hey, maybe it's time for Samsung or Google(Motorola) to poke Apple in the eye
with a really sharp stick. One of them should reach out to the Mexican iFone
folks and ask to license the name for their own phones in Mexico. Steve Jobs
would probably start spinning in his grave.
