Breaking News: Cisco Sues apple over iPhone 'name'


Recommended Posts

I'm on Cisco's side too. Especially for the crap apple pulled a while back with copyrighting the word "pod" and suing everyone that used it in their product names, even if completely unrelated to the iPod's in anyway.

Suck it down, apple, suck it down.

rofl! Yee go Cisco.. btw.. where did all the Apple fans go now? Always bitching about others copying Apple... they just got screwed.. they have no freakin right to say that people copy them again and violate their copyrights! haha

Since the device hasn't been released, it is possible that Apple will change the name. I don't see that it would be a problem.

It might show a sign of weakness on Apples part, then people start to go crazy on iProduct names

If you didn't see this coming, then you're..... just not paying attention. How Apple could go out and do this is either showing their completely stupid or completely arrogant. I'll go with the later.

Pubicity issue.. maybe? Its probably not going to hurt them too much.. but the product has been all over in the news as "iPhone" already and there is a good chance that Apple might have to pay a fee for this too. so yeh i dunno

Yeah, I myself was pretty surprised when they decided to keep it as the iPhone because it's kind of obvious that they'll get sued as everyone knew about Cisco's trademark already.

Well, if Cisco decides not to settle (unless Apple pays a hefty, hefty, price) then I'm sure they will win on this hand. They've had it since 2000, way earlier than when the stock of the iPod started to raise.

I dont think the ipod came out until 2001 anyways, but im pretty sure the imac was very late 90's though.

    • The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.
    • Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
