The iPhone controversy takes a new twist with a Canadian VoIP company alleging Cisco Systems illegally using its iPhone trademark.
Comwave, one of the leading VoIP service providers of Canada has complained that Cisco Systems is illegally using the iPhone trademark.
In a letter to Cisco, the company claimed that it has acquired the trademark in 2004 to sell its IP services. It has asked Cisco to stop using the iPhone brand.
A Cisco spokesperson said that the company is looking the iPhone issue thoroughly.
It is still fresh in our memory, when Cisco filed a lawsuit against Apple in Federal Court this month claiming it has held the trademark on the name ‘iPhone’ since 2000 when it acquired InfoGear Technology Co. InfoGear has originally registered the name.
