Why do people put copyrighted words (like iPad) in their copy? Just called a tablet-style OS so Apple won't go after your ass.

- tomcam 6y agoThe word you’re looking for is trademarked, not copyrighted. Anyway, IANAL but in the USA it’s perfectly legal to describe something as iPad-like in sales copy as long as it doesn’t look like you’re attempting to deceive the user that it is an Apple product. Practically speaking, I agree completely. Apple could just file some bullshit motion for shits and giggles and the only practical thing to do would be to take it down or get bankrupted by a baseless lawsuit.
