This is ridiculous! Copywriting words? Fruit an veg shops will be next for selling those green/red round things with cores an seeds in the centre. Someone slap Steve Jobs.

I’m reminded of a case Microsoft took back in the mid-1990s when a rival independent software developer tried to trademark the phrase ‘internet explorer’. Microsoft opposed it, saying the phrase ‘explorer’ was generic and that you couldn’t register such an everyday verb as a trademark.

Microsoft won, and promptly proceeded to register ‘Internet Explorer’ as their own trademark.

That’s interesting Gavan, link to article about this here: http://news.cnet.com/Microsoft-settles-trademark-case/2100-1001_3-212931.html

Next thing Apple will sue McDonalds for use of the word Mac and they will change the Name to Big Double Burger

Ruddy Apple has gotten far too big for its box.
Next thing you know, it will want copyright over the whole English dictionary.
Its getting stupid beyond belief.

THIS IS GOD HERE….I WILL SUE STEVE JOBS FOR BREACHING MY COPYRIGHT ON THE WORD “APPLE”…I CAN PROVE THAT I FIRST USED THE WORD WHEN REFERRING TO THE INCIDENT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN….I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT “that in a complaint filed on Friday, God accused Apple of trademark infringement and suggested consumers may be confused “as to whether Apple Computers is sponsored or approved by God”
