It is not a suit about money or royalties. This is a suit about trademark infringement.” For more flavor on this suit and why, please view our SVP and General Counsel Mark Chandler’s blog on this issue at: http://blogs.cisco.com/news/2007/01/update_on_ciscos_iphone_tradem.html

The iPhone trademark is owned by Cisco, as noted in your story. We (Cisco) had hoped to reach an agreement to share our trademark with Apple, yet they decided to use the name without our agreement, so we, unfortunately, are having to go to court to stop them from using the name. It is not about money. We still hope we can reach an agreement, but when your neighbor steals your property, you have no recourse other than to call the cops and file a complaint.
