Cisco to Apple – leggo of my iPhone!
Well, at least Cisco didn’t come out fighting right away. They waited what – 24 hours – before suing Apple over the iPhone name? Ha!
These suits are always interesting because obviously Apple has legions of legal people who knew about what the legions of Cisco legal people were thinking. So I assume it’s mostly posturing to get a maximum payoff in court.
I won’t start fretting until I ask my kids what they want to be when they grow up and they say: “A big corporate trademark attorney so we can posture for the big bucks!”.
