It’s Official: iPhone Now A Registered Trademark Of Apple Inc.

Feb 9, 2010, the iPhone is now a registered trademark of Apple Inc. This has been an ongoing procedure for many years since Cisco and Canadian firm Comwave owned the iPhone trademark and each opinions would not settle for an agreement. This registration represents Apple’s trademark ”iPhone” and the category of ”electronic games”. Currently, the iPad has not yet been approved by the FCC and will be sold in late March (WIFI) April (WIFI+3G)

Update: The USPTO’s publication of Apple’s registration for “iPhone” noted in this report covers new ground. Firstly it covers three International Classes 9, 28 and 38 and associates the classic Apple graphic besides the brand “iPhone.” For clarification purposes, Apple’s brand name “iPhone” alone has been registered twice: a) In August 2009 under the sole International Class 38, and b) in January 2010 under the sole International Class 9. Interestingly, International Class 28 covers “playing electronic games.”
