Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark

Posted by simoniker on from the god-sued-over-apple-trademark dept.

Jerrry writes "CNET News reports The Open Group is suing Apple over unlicensed use of the Unix trademark, after Apple used the term in conjunction with its Mac OS X marketing. Apple, meanwhile, is countersuing to have the Unix trademark declared invalid because the term has become generic."

    And now I can't break myself of the homosexual lifestyle! All I wanted is a powerbook, and now I don't like women anymore!

      You think you have it bad, I bought an iBook that looks like a gay toilet lid and five minutes later I was gang raped in the back of Fry's by a pack of hunky, hung black guys.

    hey
    i've known hep on the internet for like 3 years now, and have met her in person twice.

    she's actually cool, although she really does think she's a croation ninja sniper who worked for the government on nuclear weapons and is now a digital photographer.

    but yeah uh, she's on my LJ friends (and i'm on hers).

    I don't know why i'm sayin' it, but it's funny nonetheless

    Apple NEVER made a PINK computer. In all its years of playing with different colors and different designs for its computer cases.

    Guess what, a PC manufacturer just did.

    Are you now going to walk around saying "Gateway is teh gay" now? Because according to your logic, Gateway deserves the tag now.
