Cisco gives Apple more time for iPhone negotiations

Written by James Delahunty @ 16 Feb 2007 3:11 User comments (7)

Cisco Systems Inc. has confirmed that it has given Apple Computer Inc. more time to respond to a lawsuit filed over the "iPhone" device. The network equipment maker has given Apple an extension to February 21st for negotiations. Cisco sued Apple immediately after Apple unveiled the iPhone. The company claims to own the iPhone trademark and accuses Apple of infringement.

"Cisco has agreed to give Apple an extension until Wednesday, February 21," Cisco said in a statement. "Cisco is fully committed to using the extra time to reach a mutually beneficial resolution." After acquiring Infogear in 2000, Cisco obtained the iPhone trademark. Infogear had sold "iPhone" devices for several years.

Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris confirmed the extension, adding that discussions were aimed at reaching an agreement on trademark rights and interoperability. It was the second agreement to an extension after a similar move on January 31st.

I love how the lack of knowledge in general of society and a great marketing campaign and design (don't get me wrong Jobs is a genious) can spur such an interest for a product that is going to be inferior to phones that are currently available in the market today. but then again if it wasen't for stupid people I wouldn't make any money!!!

iPod still has the same name through a bazillion revisions and editions.

Yep. That's why Apple sucks overall.
