Apple in 873-page legal claim to word 'Pod'
Found on The Register on Saturday, 25 September 2010
Apple really, really, really wants exclusive rights to the word "Pod," in names for tech products, the company has argued in an 873-page legal brief filed earlier this week.
Apple is reportedly arguing that a video projector with the word "Pod" in its name would cause confusion with its own iPod products.
A lawyer representing Sector Labs tells the publication there's a growing trend of dominant tech firms trying to assume ownership of ordinary words.
I think Apple's iTries to get iRights on common iWords for the iSake of iBullying others are pretty iPathetic. The last iThing I want to associate with an iName is Apple. Pod. Err, period.
