Microsoft Fights Apple's 'App Store' Trademark Claim | |

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) is fighting Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) attempt to trademark the term "app store," saying it is a generic term used throughout the technology industry. Apple originally filed for the trademark in 2008, when the Cupertino, Calif.-based consumer electronics giant launched its app store for the iPhone. Apple said at the time that the app store encompassed "retail store services featuring computer software provided via the Internet and other computer and electronic communication networks," among other things. | ||

This is what they are worried about?
Why not call it Appl Store? That way people might get it confused with Apple's App Store and MS would get more traffic. There, problem solved! MS, you can now pay me the money you were reserving for lawyer fees. |
