Imagine if Apple's OS nicknames were based on genus Ailuropoda and they wandered into Panda name territory. Holy jeez if they dared to put the word Happy or Lucky in front.
Fair go all, what's with the Chinese bashing!? Apple is the first company to jump on anyone that that uses a similar symbol to its own, or even similar wording. All companies must defend their trademarks or risk having them diluted or losing them. Jiangsu is asking a pittance which shows it is not really interested in the money, just in defending its trademark. Now, Apple will probably fight it as they too want to defend the Snow Leopard name but some sort of small settle will probably be made, maybe allowing both companies to use the name.

The people that would confuse what they are selling with an OS made for exclusive hardware..... are not Apple's market. I think it's called satire. If there's a thing in nature called a snow leopard, those guys are screwed. It's prior art whether you are from Adam or chimp.

"Hey Apple, we're a bankrupt Chinese company, and we hold the Chinese trademark for 'fruit', and since an apple is a fruit, you need to pay us, like.... I dunno, $60 Million?"
Nice try, but the Chinese don't do the L R thing, that's the Japanese.
First of all, explaining a joke ruins it, second of off, ive been to hong kong & Japan, i know the difference, but a joke is for laughs, I thought you might get funny, you know because of your user name?
In other news, one of the world's oldest partnerships is suing Apple Inc. for use of their trademark. Said a representative, "I think our usage of the Apple is firmly established. You will find evidence in any motel room nightstand. For use of our trademark, we demand that Apple take it's fair share of Original Sin."
Having settled with Proview for $60M, Apple is going to be harassed for all their worth.
Cook is not showing the backbone that Jobs had. Apple will pay dearly for Cook's miscalculation; they're an easy target now. Unless Apple management gets a backbone, it will follow RIMM and Nokia to the grave.

It would have been funny were it the Japanese suing. And BTW, Kustard King was an ice cream purveyor in the 1900's (is it too early to call them that?), so you missed again.

Im from Australia I have no idea what that is never heard of it & we don't have it as far as i know. funny must not be your field, remember what i said about explaining jokes thats cool, wont judge, lets stick with apple products & how we all love them & how we hate everyone else that likes stuff that we dont
On a side note, i have friends on facebook, massive android fans, popular opionion amunst those guys seems to be that apple is a massive patent troll & dont like competition :S

Proview makes monitors... they sue Apple for the iPad brand.
CTL makes monitors, they have a Nexus brand.. do you think they will sue Google for the Nexus 7 brand? doubt it.

Not to mention the Wi-Fi base stations.

In other news, Apple reconsiders plans for OSX 10.88 Lucky Spring Lotus Star Dragon
I understand the term 'Jade Gate' is property of the oldest Chinese profession. Anything Jade is out of the question.

Easy fix. Just change the name in China to "Snow Repord".

Proview's victory just opened the floodgates.
