I see this failing like nobody's business, not because of anything to do with patents, but because they made the agreement that developers had 21 days to comply, then they broke their own (verbal, effectively) contract by filing early. That's got to…

This lawsuit can only have two results * Apple wins the trademark and Amazon has to come up with an original name. * Apple loses but Amazon realizes it's going to need an original name to distinguish itself. It seems like it would just be much si…
