Tech : Apple loses name battle to iFone | Apple iPhone five finally involves Bharat | iPad mini's screen has Samsung technical school
A Mexican telecommunications firm named iFone has declared ending in an exceedingly trademark battle with Apple's iPhone, exposing the North American nation company to a possible compensation payment.
Apple introduced the iPhone to the Mexican market in 2007, four years after the Mexican telecom services and systems company says it registered the name iFone.
"It is the third time that Apple loses and this demonstrates the legal truth: iFone is within its full right to use its brand," the statement said.
The lawyer for iFone, Eduardo Gallart, was quoted as saying in Milenio newspaper on Saturday that Apple will have to compensate the Mexican company for the use of the iPhone name.
An amount has not been decided but Gallart said the law sets a floor rate of 40 percent of the sale price of a service that is found to have violated the rules.
