Ed Burnette has an interesting article on ZDNet concerning Cisco’s ownership of the iPhone trademark.¬† It appears there may be some doubt that Cisco still owns th¬ª Cisco lost rights to iPhone trademark last year, experts say | Ed Burnette‚Äôs Dev Connection | ZDNet.com:An investigation into the ongoing trademark dispute between Cisco and Apple over the name “iPhone” appears to show that Cisco does not own the mark as claimed in their recent lawsuit.¬† This is based on publicly available information from the US Patent and Trademark office, as well as public reviews of Cisco products over the past year.¬† The trademark was apparently abandoned in late 2005/early 2006 because Cisco was not using it.
