Well, Apple was negotiating with Cisco over using the iPhone name for weeks before Apple showed off the iPhone. Which could be seen as Apple admitting that they acknowledge Cisco as the owner. Then Apple went and used it, announcing the new iPhone before a deal was signed and made. So obviously Cisco is going to sue them.
I think Cisco does have a valid reason to do it. They (and previously Infogear before Cisco purchased them) have been using the iPhone label since the early 90s. For the past couple years Linksys has been marketing and producing various iPhone products as well. What Cisco plans to do with their iPhone is different than what Apple plans to do with theirs. This is only going to lead to confusion for consumers and lost sales for either Apple or Cisco. Apple could of used another name. They have used names other than i<insert name here> for some of their products. Hell, they could of even used something like Icell or something if they REALLY needed the I<shit> thing that badly. The fact they were negotiating a deal with Cisco over using it kind of proves that they used it knowing that it belonged to Cisco, like I said earlier in the post. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Stuff goes here~
