I can't post the search result link but you can start here: United States Patent and Trademark Office Home Page then go to trademark then search.
There's a lot more but this is the grist. There are 9 listings for IPHONE but only one registered.
Well I guess we wait and see. If industry rumors are correct I believe 1st Qtr '07 and some say as early as January for the Apple iPhone? |
So its actually been a registered trademark of Cisco or companies that Cisco has subsequently become owner of, since November 16, 1999 - over 7 years now.
So, I have two questions:
1) Who's going to file suit first - Cisco/Linksys or Apple?
2) What's Apple going to end up calling their phone instead?
Lets see, "Pod" has nothing inherently to do with music, so why does this need to have anything to do with phones? Hmm, how about... the iBerry!
