Apple multi-touch trademark application rejected

, Sep 27th 2011 Discuss [11]

Apple has been denied the “multi-touch” trademark, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) deciding that it had already become generic in its usage. Although Apple attempted to trademark the term on the same day that the original iPhone was launched, January 9, 2007, the initial registration was rejected; Apple’s appeal has similarly been denied, with the USPTO saying that “the examining attorney was not persuaded by applicant’s showing of acquired distinctiveness.”

Is Apple preparing an iPhone 5 LTE demo?

, Sep 26th 2011 Discuss [13]

Apple’s rumored plans to hold the iPhone 5 launch, tipped to take place next week, at the company’s Cupertino campus could be an LTE strategy decision, with the company looking to tightly control a 4G demonstration of the new smartphone. While Apple’s usual iPhone launch venue, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, is known to be booked up on October 4, it’s also possible that the company had no intention of revealing an LTE-equipped iPhone 5 anywhere but on its home turf.

Samsung pushes iPhone 5 ban while antitrust specter looms

, Sep 26th 2011 Discuss [14]

Courts at The Hague will rule on the Samsung versus Apple injunction request on October 14, deciding whether or not the Korean company can push ahead with its pre-emptive attempt to have the iPhone 5 banned from sale in Europe. Earlier today, Apple's legal team argued that Samsung had sought to mislead the 3G development process by withholding the fact that it was promoting the inclusion of certain technologies it had already patented. The Korean firm then attempted to ambush Apple, the lawyers suggested, in an attempt to distract from its own patent infringements, and demanding sky-high royalties. Read The Full Story

iPhone 5 cases with clear back push for curved corners and button realignment

, Sep 25th 2011 Discuss [9]

Another set of cases have appeared on an online merchant site, this time in three versions. As you should know quite well by now, the iPhone 5 is one of two iPhone devices expected to be revealed at the next Apple keynote event, this event likely for some time before the end of 2011, and possibly inside October. What we're seeing today is a set of three cases, each of them said to be fitting the iPhone 5, and each of them showing one unique sort of case change for this model. Though we're certainly not sure of the legitimacy of the online sales site (our tipster encouraged us to buy, so we'll tell you NOT to buy, of course), it's interesting to see these new renders.

, Sep 22nd 2011 Discuss [6]

When it comes to the next iPhone, whatever that may be at the time, it’s generally just news tips that we get, whispers and the occasional blurting out of details by those who are trusted to keep them.

Apple Fall 2011: Worst Case Scenario (for Apple’s Competitors)

, Sep 21st 2011 Discuss [37]

In my last column, I discussed what I consider a fairly plausible, if unsurprising, set of expectations for Apple this fall. I called it a Best Case Scenario (for Apple’s Competitors). Click through to read it, or if you need the Cliff’s Notes version, that would be:

1. The existing iPhone 4 remains on the market or is replaced with an 8 GB version.
2. Apple introduces the iPhone 5 with a larger display, dual core processor, and camera spec bump. And it’s thinner.
3. Apple updates the iPod line with new colors, tweaked designs, and a smaller nano that is designed to work well as a watch.
