iPhone Trademark Issues in Switzerland

April 6th, 2010 by Arjan Olsder Posted in Analysis & Editorial | No Comments »

Apple Apple seems to have lost their legal fight to trademark the iPhone in Switzerland. Apple tried to file if for categories 9 (phones) and 28 but the local trademark authority said the name was too generic.


The i could be seen as an abbreviation for Internet or Information which would make the name of the iPhone a generic classification for a device and that is not allowed to be trademarked. After their first disapproval, Apple went to court and now a judge has ruled in favor of the trademark authority.
