- DenisM 17y agoApple will do the basic, honest attempt to prevent trampling on others trademarks but it's not an outright bannination. In general with social networking its a gray area - if an app is a twitter client does it have a reason to have "twitter" in the name? It surely does. If I was Apple I would promptly react to mark holder complains rather than proactively deny things. I would also make exception for major marks - I would contact them proactively and ask for guidance. And then if I was Facebook from before the iPad incident I would say "it's cool, let it slide - we'll deal with it later if there is ever a real problem".
