Apple goes aggressive again. Now the
world-famous tech giant is getting ready to sue at least 10 Russian
companies who use the “i” prefix in their names. Apparently, this
tendency is a popular one.
The company called Panimport is number
one in the list. This company owns the “iBroker” brand. In the near
future, Apple and Panimport are going to meet in a Russian country in
St. Petersburg. The tech giant asks Panimport to abandon iBroker and pay
it 50 000 RUR as a fine. At this point, it is unclear how the Apple
layers will be reasoning their claims.
It seems like Apple is trying to
eliminate those who are tyring to benefit from their ideas and
brand. Apparently, iPhones, iPads, iPods have been recognized and loved
worldwide ever since they came into existence. The “i” prefix is also
associated with Apple. That is why Russian companies like iTour, iCar, iФрукт chose such names – the prefix makes these names more popular, recognizable and modern.
Meanwhile, Apple’s stock has been down since the corporation reported poor financial figures a couple of days ago.
