Isn’t that generally how trademarks work? Isn’t that why Cisco is allowed to make its own iOS?

- randomdata 4y agoTwo operating systems would no doubt be considered to be in the same space. Apple licensed the iOS name from Cisco exactly to avoid a trademark suit.
- AmericanChopper 4y agoBad example perhaps (and I just noticed I got it backwards in my comment). But I’m sure there has to be a risk of creating confusion amongst consumers for trademark infringement to take place.
- nemoniac 4y agoInterestingly Apple also settled with the Beatles' record label after a trademark suit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer
- freejazz 4y agoOne is consumer and the other isn't, so probably no to be honest. If you are apple, better to get the license before you release a product like iOS which is on its what, 10th plus year?
