The iPhone Lawsuit: Apple, Cisco... and Ocean Telecom?

Filed in archive Mobile by jeff goldman on January 11, 2007

After Tuesday's big iPhone announcement, there's much discussion online today of Cisco's plans to sue Apple for infringing on its iPhone trademark.

"For about two years, Apple negotiated with Cisco to use the iPhone name, which would dovetail with its existing iPod, iMac and iTunes product-naming convention," writes ComputerWorld's Todd R. Weiss. "Those negotiations continued right until Tuesday, when Jobs stood on the stage at San Francisco's annual Macworld conference and announced the June release of Apple's iPhone. Cisco subsidiary Linksys has its own iPhone. But instead of signing a proposed contract submitted Monday night by Cisco, Apple made the iPhone announcement without a deal in place. Cisco's response: a 24-page trademark infringement lawsuit against Apple."

"It will be a big, expensive lawsuit," says Henry Sneath of Pittsburgh's Picadio Sneath Miller & Norton, P.C.

"Apple went so far as to create a phony company called Ocean Telecom Services LLC to get around Cisco's trademark, Cisco alleges," writes the AP's Rachel Konrad. "In an application to the U.S. Patent and Trade Office in March, Ocean Telecom billed itself as a foreign company doing business in Trinidad and Tobago links . The company listed its attorney as James Johnson. His contact information was an e-mail address from Google's free Web-based gmail service. On Thursday, the Apple spokeswoman said the company would not discuss Ocean Telecom."

Add your response to The iPhone Lawsuit: Apple, Cisco... and Ocean Telecom?: Response from: apple iphone (01/14/07 3:28am) I heard that cisco systems is sueing apple for the name iPhone which they use for there VoIP service. But i hear that apple is saying that they are calling it Apple iPhone. Looks like they will get past this one. Response from: (06/10/07 2:31pm) I completely understand how the copyright laws read and I might be upset about someone trying to take my name. On the other hand I have Linksys products and I had the Linksys iPhone, it was below substandard. If I was iPhone I would join with Mac somehow indirectly and cash in on their Millions of phones estimated selling and enjoy the pot. Spend millions in Lawsuits and negative press or join the wagon and enjoy 100 million in profits....hummm. Those dang choices. I love my Linksys products and I will enjoy my new iPhone. Response from: National Marine Engineers Beneficial Association (08/13/07 7:14am) While the iPhone is a cell phone, iPod and Internet device in one, Cisco has been selling a line of iPhone mobile phone products under its Linksys brand since early last year, according to the company.
