Here is one theories that i thought. Cisco was nice to Apple, somehow "pity" them and gave their name to Apple. However i was for a long time sceptical on the move from Cisco i thought "where or how they benefit?". One day i was reading about VPN and mobile phones, and i found that the iPhone has a Cisco VPN application inside. There was my answer :) I am guessing Cisco said "OK have our name but you are going to have our application to your device" and because Cisco isn't popular on giving freebies they make profit for every iPhone is sold. ]]>Feb 14th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/
I'm with Magicland. I don't see the legal significance in having a broad trademark over something different. iPhone Trademark != iPad Trademark.
Now you could argue that the iPad trademark by Fujitsu is an attempt to decieve customers into thinking that it is an Apple Product. The problem is Fujitsu applied for the trademark in 2003, when I don't think the iPad was even dreamed up yet. Also, the iName style isn't distinctly Apple, since HP had the iPAQ since 2000. ]]>Feb 14th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/"What does this have to do with Compaq's IPAD..."

Actually, nothing. Compaq does not have an "Ipad". They have an IpaQ. That's a Q, not a P.

For the record, Fujistu does have an active registered trademark of Ipad. That's what Apples going to have to steal, um I mean convince trademark offices that Apple has more right to the use (even though Fujitsu's tradmark is older than the iPod trademark).

But, Apple always gets away with things other companies can't, so I don't expect any problems for Apple.]]>Feb 14th 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Right, but I'm not sure the USPTO has the power to actually nullify a Trademark it has already issued. That is something only the courts can do, AFAIK. Would be nice if Nilay chimed in on how about the venues Apple has to get the iPad trademark through the USPTO or Courts. I think a trade of cash is obviously always a possibility. ]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/ iphone 3G ---> iphone 3GSlow --->........ looks the same looks the same looks the same]]>Feb 14th 2010 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 14th 2010 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/apple-locks-down-iphone-trademark-includes-electronic-games-c/Feb 15th 2010 6:31AM
