They were obviously aware that iPad was trademarked, so if they went ahead with the name, they must feel confident enough that they'll a reach settlement of some sorts with Fujitsu et al.
- robg 17y agoIf you start looking at the various TMs, they also seem to have done the same with iPod. The more I think about, the more I'm not sure Apple is behind the iSlate TM application. The route (random Delaware LLC) seems the same and it's a pretty broad TM. Either the iSlate name isn't Apple and they couldn't get it, or the iPad is seen internally as a transitional device to a more fully functioning iSlate once the bigger screen prices come down.
