Cisco giving more time to Apple in “iPhone” case
Cisco Systems Inc. announced that it givining to Apple Inc. another week to respond to its trademark infringement lawsuit that threatens to halt Apple from using the "iPhone" name on its new iPod mobile phone.
Cisco the world's largest networking equipment maker, said that Apple has time until Wednesday to respond to the lawsuit filed last month in San Francisco federal court.
Cisco added it would allow Apple to use the trademarked name but wants both companies' phones to be able to communicate with each other. Apple has called the lawsuit "silly" and argued that it's entitled to use the iPhone name because the phones operate over different networks.
Cisco has owned the trademark since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name. In late 2006 when Apple announced its mobile phone iPod, Cisco sued him for using the name of it product.
