iPhone trademark battle over

with one comment

Finally, the debate over the trademark for “iPhone” between Cisco and Apple is over. They have reached an agreement to use the trademarks in distinct businesses. I was reading about it, and cursing Apple for violating business ethics, but as it’s said, Steve Jobs always gets his way. Couple of places I have heard a few controversies about Steve Jobs now, so iCon is on my reading list now – still about two months away though.

It’s  interesting to observe the case though. If you are Apple, you can infringe a copyright, and then settle it with the copyright owner. But if someone else infringes your copyright, you will crush the company! That’s business it looks like, but not many people are happy with it!

All in all, I think both the companies are happy – so it does not matter what the critics say!
