ay Apple. this is getting ridiculous.

wanna patent the colour orange while you at it?

frjoethesecond4227d ago

Some raging full retard apple fanboy seems to have disagreed with you.

KingPin4227d ago

those stealth disagrees pop up in a lot of Apple articles.

Crazay4227d ago

Its long past ridiculous. Its mile past that my friend. Next stop...patent the word "phone".

KingPin4227d ago

Crazay and frjoethesecond

your guys comments are classic. :P

hazelamy4226d ago

i'd say they're light years past ridiculous by now.

and don't give them ideas.
they've probably already got lawyers looking into trademarking the letter I.

jerethdagryphon4226d ago

this is great news this shows a whole

one thing about it if one can fall they may reexaminie other icons and declare then invalid in fact they may show them as public domain

Gondee4227d ago

Whats wrong with trademarking a icon that people associate with you. All companies do it.

Crazay4227d ago

Really? People associate a music note with Apple now? Since when? Since Apple says they do? Give your head a shake dude. Sometimes the things I read here make me want to cry and punch a baby panda right in the face.

Gondee4225d ago

Its not just the music not idiot its the icon, colors and all, as a whole. And it really is a "icon" for apples music experience on all of the mobile products.

Companies can't use the Spotify symbol on their products either "OOHH, ARE THEY JUST GOING TO TRADEMARK 3 UPWARD LINES, OMG THIS SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE RARRRRWWWW"
^thats you

frelyler4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

I associate that mark with sheet music or a musical note, not Apple. It's not like music did not exist before Apple and Itunes. It's out of hand and if you deny it then you are blind to reason.

Crazay4225d ago

First - Shhhhh....The adults are talking there's no need for juvenile behaviour such as name calling.

2nd, Spotify is a logo for their company. clearly displaying the wireless transfer/broadcast of music to the skies - not even close to the same thing at all

Trademarking a company LOGO is different because it's the LOGO that customers identify with. People don't look at a music note and think "Oh that must be an Apple thing".

Speed-Racer4227d ago

Apple's 2012/2013 business model - Trademark everything, sue others for using them. If they make profits from iPhones, then that's a benefit.

kingPoS4227d ago

Why are Apple trying patent universal concepts? Are they seeking to operate by association alone?

hazelamy4226d ago

actually i think they're seeking to just operate alone.
sue every possible competitor to death so they have a total monopoly.

anybody remember when apple used to be the little guys fighting against this kind of crap?
now they're worse than any of the companies they were fighting against.

guess they just proved the old saying that power corrupts.

fatstarr4227d ago

I would enjoy the ridiculousness that would have occurred if they got this patent.
