Apple's Trademark for 'There's an App For That' Approved

[paulcdb]

How about,"It took us TWO YEARS to come up with...drumroll...cut and paste". sigh.

thats getting so old now... especially now as Windows 7 Mobile isn't even coming with it at launch

Using the new software has a much more natural flow to it, although some key functions - like "cut and paste" - are missing, but promised to arrive as a software update in early 2011. - Source

still you can't freaking copyright 7 consequent words! jesus christ that stupid patent approvers have no clue what they should do. RELAX WITH COPYRighting!! If i wanna say in my ad or movie or ANYTHING "there's an app for that", what are they gonna do? arrest me? Do they freaking own the words?
I see the new world order right outside the door of 2011 to 2012 tbh.

certain things make absolutely no sense. i should look up this patent application and decision.



maybe i'll understand the logic behind when i get hired at uspto. waiting for a all any moment now.

First you'll have to learn that a patent and a trademark are two different things which have nothing to do with each other.

The way some software is programmed, the phrase should expand to "there's a crap for that."

'I'm lovin it' is trademarked, so why can't this be as well?
