Elaborate enough?
Funny story: I used to work for a startup which had a trademark on "Airdrop". When Apple announced that feature, it took everyone there by surprise. Ended up reaching out and selling it to them for a buck or two in favor of maintaining goodwill.
- inventor7777 3mo agoHa, that's funny. When you say "a buck or two" do you really mean it was almost nothing or did Apple compensate you appropriately? I'm also surprised that Apple didn't catch that before if it was trademarked.
- oasisbob 3mo agoIt rounded down to nothing. Might have been $10 or $100 to make it real consideration.
- inigyou 3mo agoWhy did you value Apple's goodwill more than a couple million dollars?
- oasisbob 3mo agoWe were a provider very intimately dependent on Apple's ecosystem and had no appetite whatsoever for a fight.
