UK broadcaster tells Apple that 'iTV' is taken so find a new name

Following in the trend of all of its other devices, the TV is expected to be called the "iTV" as it will likely run on a variant of the iOS operating system.

I'll bet their ad campaign will read something like "We'll be watching you!".

Apple can urinate against gravity along the coarse nature of a finely intertwined, bulk loaded, hemp product used in the shipping industry if they actually 'think' the mass public believes they are trying to "not to infringe" on anything...

Unless IQs (or whatever is used these days as a barometer to mark some form of intelligence) have dropped, you've truly lived in a cave, propped back up from a 20 year coma or just became drinking age then you've missed out on the endless stream of patent trolling this company has led in the last 2 years.

They take legal actions like it's good on a salad.

Don't worry Crapple fans, they have 90 billion in the bank to sue for the rights to use the name iTV. Crapple will work it out somehow.

If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

ITV do not have a device, they are a UK broadcasting company called Independent Television better known as ITV.

This is about the name ITV not the device, ITV do not care about the device Apple can try and "patent" it however much they want, but you can't patent a TV. The iPhone is not patented, the technology used is patented and the name is a trademark, but the system itself is not. A TV is a TV. ITV do not care about the TV aslong as apple do not brand it with the name "iTV" or any other casewise permutations of those letters in that order, at least in Europe.
