Apple is being sued by Cisco for using their trademarked "Iphone" name. Cisco has had the trademark since 2000 and they released their "Iphone" three weeks prior to the official announcement of Apple's Iphone. Apple made a big mistake... (Information Taken From TimesOnline)This potentially has the possibility of having an enormous impact on Apple. The Iphone is supposed to be the new star of Apple and this could be set back in their marketing plan. It would be devistating if Apple can not make a deal with Cisco and had to change the name of their premier product. I personally do not think that this will have much of an effect on Apple. Unless Apple is forced to change the name of their phone, I do not think that this will hurt Apple very much. Right now Apple is probably hoping all they will have to do is pay some fines for the infringement.
