An Australian trademark tribunal has rejected Apple’s attempt to prevent some companies from using a lowercase “i” in their names, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. At the center of the case is DOPi, a brand of bags and cases for Apple products sold by the Sydney-based Wholesale Central.
Apple complained to IP Australia, the government body behind the tribunal, that people could potentially confuse DOPi products for its own, as the name is a reversed take on “iPod.”
Good news is, now you can name your company “DAPi”.
