Cisco Sues Apple Over iPhone Trademark

Posted by samzenpus on from the that-didn't-take-long dept.

lucabrasi999 writes "It appears that Apple may be running out of items that they can prefix with the letter "i". Cisco is suing Apple over trademark infringement. Cisco claims to own the rights to the "iPhone" trademark since they purchased Infogear in 2000. Infogear filed for the rights to the trademark in 1996."

    The iPhone was release in 1997. The iMac was announced in 1998. Since Cisco acquired all assets and marks of Infogear, Cisco FTW. :)
