That aren't "enforcing" their trademark in the courts where the attempt would probably be unsuccessful, they are just threating a guy with app store removable unless he does what they say.
The trademark summary says 'Electronic hand-held game units other than those adapted for use with an external display screen or monitor;'
- jasonlotito 16y agoOne trademark summary. Another: " Computers; computer hardware; computer displays; computer software; handheld mobile digital electronic devices used as a telephone, handheld computer, personal digital assistant, electronic organizer, and electronic notepad, and used to access the Internet, electronic mail, and other digital data" Serial Number: 85056807 - http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=4010:ptg5c7.3.7 http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=401...

- tzs 16y agoI don't see why they would be unsuccessful in court. "Retina" is not a term normally associated with displays, so I see no problem with it as a trademark.
- tesseract 16y agoBut in this context it has nothing or very little to do with displays - just images. Does the trademark still apply? We almost certainly won't find out, since lawsuits are so expensive that Bonobo will presumably just acquiesce.
- jasonlotito 16y agoYou weren't aware of it, but it's been posted in other locations that another trademark for Retina by apple specifically covers software.
- tesseract 16y agoAh, thanks.
