Apple and Cisco resolve iPhone trademark battle
Apple and US networking giant Cisco have resolved their battle over the iPhone trademark and the iPod maker will now be able to use the name for its new mobile phone.
Apple’s recently announced plans to enter the mobile phone market quickly ran into trouble with Cisco deciding to sue the company for using the iPhone name, which it believed it had trademarked.
But now the two have issued a joint statement announcing that both companies are free to use the “iPhone” trademark on their products.
