Another interesting case...
Apple sues Polish online grocery store over 'A.pl' domain
http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/10/apple-reportedly-suing-polish-online-supermarket-trademarking-name-a-pl/Apple is run buy a bunch dumbheads.....They will soon sue people in markets who sell apples and start to register the name of the apple fruit in every language.

It was once rumored that they planned to buy "our" TV manufacturer Loewe (since 1923).
The design would fit...That would make me

The Polish A.pl is really taking things too far!
Anyway, it looks like the new iPhone5 could be in a spot of bother!
Is The Next iPhone Already In Patent Trouble?
'.....competitors such as Samsung and HTC are already warning Apple that if it releases a new iPhone with LTE connectivity, they will sue the company for patent infringements and will demand a sales ban in the U.S.'

...... the saying, 'What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!' comes to mind

Just thought that we should start planning what the phonetic alphabet will become if the likes of APPLE start to make claim to the rights of each letter!
Apple, British Petrolium, Coke, Dell, Exxon, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Intel, .......!!!

The bigger they are the harder they fall... I'd keep a close eye on the share price if you hold any.

It does raise the question have Apple lost their innovation skills?
I also wonder where Apple stand if others refuse to supply or licence their own innovations to Apple because of their arrogance?
They might even have backed themselves into a corner with their "Look & Feel" protectionism which others will turn on them... 7" screen anyone?

Yeah, Apple really need to 'lighten up'! They are taking themselves far to seriously when it comes to some areas they are trying to protect.
The main attraction with Apple for me is their OS. Yes, their goods are well built and nice to use etc etc but its really the 'ease of use' issue that is important for me and, I imagine, many other Mac users.
Still when a company has cash flowing out their ears they will be temped to get into legal ways of holding their position and they will find no shortage of legals willing to take their cash.
The best way to stay ahead is to keep ahead, not beat the completion back!

This thread has been a real iOpener. Wait, no I didn't say that, iMeant to say something else but
iGot confused. Sh**, iPut myself in real trouble now. iGotta go.
I think Apple may be also playing the "there is no such thing as bad advertising" card. It's pathetic, so if someone can come up with a cover that makes my iPhone look like a Samsung, I'm a taker.

Now Dale ....... that is a iDEA and one that would really PiSS Apple off!

Dale and Mike,
Definitely you are safe with the use of iLetter as long as the word is spelt backwards...
Have a look this...
