Apple Sued Over Use of iCloud Name

tekgoblin writes "iCloud Communications is suing Apple for the use of the iCloud name which they have the rights to. According to the lawsuit: 'The goods and services with which Apple intends to use the “iCloud” mark are identical to or closely related to the goods and services that have been offered by iCloud Communications under the iCloud Marks since its formation in 2005. However, due to the worldwide media coverage given to and generated by Apple’s announcement of its “iCloud” services and the ensuing saturation advertising campaign pursued by Apple, the media and the general public have quickly come to associate the mark “iCloud” with Apple, rather than iCloud Communications.'"

    From iCloud's FAQ.

    What happens if one of my desktop devices is not working properly?

    You can place a call to iCloud technical support at (insert number) to begin the problem solving process. We will try to correct the situation over the phone. If we cannot solve the problem on the initial call, we will deliver and configure a new device to your location.

    I hope I never have to call their Tech Support.
