It's always irked me that Apple can claim exclusive use of prefacing their product name with a lowercase 'i'. |

>Apple failed to demonstrate that a "person of ordinary intelligence and memory" would automatically assume that just because a product carries the letter "i" it is an Apple product. |

I've known of thing that have started with "i" long before Apple existed, along with E, X, and Z. |

Infogear put out a product called the "iPhone" in 1998, a few years before Apple first marketed even the iPod in 2001 (though I'm not sure when/where/what began Apple's iProduct naming scheme, exactly). It's understandable for companies to try to protect their trademarks (as failure to do so diminishes their ability to do so later) but, like the suit against Woolworth's for their apple-shaped logo, it's rather ridiculous to claim a monopoly on this kind of thing. |
