iCloud Communication, don't you know that Apple owns the 'i'?![]()
Actually Intel own the 'i'. It was a long time ago for some, but I seem to remember intel tried to trademark i386 i486.

Ever file for a trademark?
It's neither cheap (for a small company) or easy.
Been through the process twice myself. No thanks.
I will agree to a limited extent that an annual search of the USPTO filings would be in order, but again, you need to also take into consideration the scope of such searches and the basic understanding of how they work.
My wife's company does global searches in TESS and then vets any potential infringing filing.
Some companies simply lack the resources or even the knowledge on how to do this.
Building data centers in Europe and Asia to mirror the North Carolina site?
Why would people even consider a service with the *huge* single point of failure of only having one data center?
I think it's simple. iCloud Communications is the trademark for a company with a VOIP service. iCloud is a product for sharing and storing. I think they will deem them different enough.
I own or work with every hardware product Apple produce, but I really cannot fathom how people can take Apples side on this one - this is a huge multinational company stomping all over some guys livelihood.
Since Apple has had to pay the Beatles a couple of time for settlement of the matter, I think copying was a fair statement.
It's about time for Apple to finally abandon the i..younameit naming of all their products. They can use something else maybe an idea would be to simply use their apple icon instead of the stupid i and so, no more suits. And the apple icon is an now extremely recognizable logo.
cloud or
icloud? which one is better?
Just another legal troll.
We are discussing names, not logos.

This isn't going anywhere. The company was incorporated on 5/12/2011 in AZ. I wish MR had bothered looking that fact up with the AZ Secretary of State and included it in the article.

iCloud communication will lose both money and their name. "If you don't use it, you will lose it."
