With the success of the Apple iPod series of Apple computers, it is no wonder that there is an Apple iPod action on the table. Apple Corps sued Apple iPod creator, Apple Computer, a break in their agreement to use its famous trademark. In March 2006, the hearing for the Apple iPod in London before the court.
For one of the loyal fans of this iconic device dismiss this Apple iPod envy, it is important to look behind the legislative history of these two companies. The iPod case is the latest lawsuit by these companies. In the early 80s, Apple Computer paid Apple Corps $ 80,000 and promised her that she was not in the music business. 1989 was another warm year between them by Apple Corps, Apple Computer to court again, this time for a music program and a microphone.
The latter paid Apple Corps another $ 26 million and, goods and services for the reproduction, sale of game, running or other delivery of music content. Apple Corps to obtain the rights of creative works with music. Your consent only prevented Apple Computer from distributing content to media such as CDs and cassettes. It is vague on the position with regard to later inventions such as digital music files, or the devices they run.
Apple Computer lawyer Anthony Grabiner believes they have a strong defense against Apple Corps. Meanwhile, Apple Corps, damages and demands that the company and Apple iPod manufacturer for use of the Apple logo on the iTunes Music Store and stop the advertising of the site.
Many fans think of Apple Computer products, the Apple iPod pocket some influence. There are people who have Apple just completely change their logo on all disputes filed against them in the future. Ilounge.com visitors see this Apple iPod as an acknowledgment that Apple Computer is indeed violated their agreement with Apple Corps especially when judged by the former settlements, that the former are offered.
What this really shows Apple iPod is a warning to all companies. Trademark and copyright lawsuits can be very expensive to pay, especially if your company has just picked up business. Therefore, many companies invest heavily in market research, branding and patents. Make sure you have the copyright of your business, logos and symbols check before release to the public. Put everything to help your business in court battles evil as the Apple iPod avoided.
Joined Eddie Cue, iTunes vice president at Apple Computer in the third witness stand April 2006 to defend his company. Cue testified that the Apple computer is not in conflict with the 1991 agreement with the Apple logo on its iTunes Music Store. What they had planned, data transfer and not the original rights to the songs.
During the last event in the Apple iPod, Anthony Grabiner defended Apple the right to use the logo because they promote the iTunes Store and not the music itself, and as long as the origin of the software and download services to give, they have not breeched anything.
Apple iPod is still popular as the audio and multimedia player device on the market, despite lawsuits filed against them. Apple iPod sales will continue to grow as users and supporters more and more ways to find their iPod use in their daily lives. Of course there is disagreement. Through the experience, who can complain about is so do not complain how Apple's iPod to the needs of the consumer of its compliance efforts, they can not please everyone.
The decision for the Apple vs. Apple trademark case is unlikely for the Easter holidays. How this all ends for the Apple iPod, we will just have to wait and see.
