Apple Exec Claims Cisco "iPhone" Trademark Lawsuit is Silly
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 at 2:00 PM - by John Martellaro
During Apple's FY 07 1Q Earnings Conference Call on Wednesday, Apple COO Tim Cook was asked about the Cisco lawsuit over the "iPhone" trademark. He described it as "silly."
Mr. Kevin Hunt of Thomas Weisel Partners asked Mr. Cook to comment on the Cisco lawsuit. He was specifically concerned about whether the litigation would affect Apple's ability to ship the mobile phone in June as planned.
"We think the Cisco trademark lawsuit is silly," Mr. Cook responded, "as we've said before. There are already several companies that use the name iPhone for voice over IP products, and we believe that Cisco's U.S. trademark registration is tenuous at best. We are the first company to ever use the iPhone name for a cell phone, and if Cisco wants to challenge us, we're confident we'll prevail."
In a previous story at TMO, the history of the term "iPhone" and Apple's own trademark attempts were described. At that time, a CNN Money analyst suggested that if Apple intends to use the strategy that they have a family of "iPhone" trademarks registered in many other countries, except the U.S., that that is "not a strong argument." Now the court will decide if it gets that far.
