That would be funny and indeed is of very low probability. But my point was how can a company claim rights on a term already in wide use within the same domain

That would be funny and indeed is of very low probability. But my point was how can a company claim rights on a term already in wide use within the same domain/industry. Trademarks and patents are getting weirder everyday.
- Vivtek 17y agoThey don't have a trademark on the word "pad". What they have is the ability to deny people access to the only market available for the iPhone. The language they use is slanted towards making that seem legitimate, but in the end, this is not a "trademark" issue in the legal sense, it's Apple owning the company store.
