Apple trademarks design of its retail stores

[tkin]

I don't think it is such a big issue to make a hue and cry about it. It becomes essential sometimes to protect the brand identity.

Really?

blame the game, not the player
the patents office is responsible for retardation of innovation instead of promoting it, that's what FOSS is fighting

+1 And not just software, hardware as well, patent trolls are making innvations difficult, and apple is the better of those, going only after companies that are overtaking them, other patent trolls go after smaller fries, who'd rather pay than pay legal fees.

no laughing matter..

next they will file a patent for the way the sweeper sweeps the floor at iStores.

I wonder if they will file a patent for the apple bite on their logo. People won't be able to bite into apples.
