Apple Trademarks ''There's an App for That''

[JMcEntegart]

If you're tired of hearing, "There's an app for that!" from every Apple user you encounter, prepare yourself: Apple has just been awarded a trademark on the slogan, so we'll probably be hearing it a whole lot more.

i want to trademark a annoying phrase, is there an app for that?

 

[jednx01]

Driving people crazy: there's an app for that!

 

[Bluescreendeath]

App means application, not apple. Screw apple for trademarking a generic catchphrase...

 

[eddieroolz]

Oh you got to be kidding me. These trademarks are nothing but silly.

 

[fjjb]

at least they cant trademark the droid: Flash? theres a phone for that!..... at least for now (maybe a long time!)

But, there's also apples for that.

 

[bhaberle]

I think they should not have been allowed to do this... sigh.

 

[bhaberle]

Not only did they get away with trademarking this generic phrase, they get away with lawsuits over people have a logo with apples in it. Ridiculous... they must pay off a lot of people.

so maybe if i get enough money, i can just trademark the entire dictionary. every word and every phrase. if any of you say a single word, i will sue you for millions upon millions of dollars, and if you can't pay for it, you're going to prison. i wont stop until every human on earth has given me all their money, is in prison, or everyone just stops talking. actually no, i'll trademark living, so only i can be alive, and you will all die so i will be the last one standing. ahh look who wins..

 

[liveonc]

Good for them!Love sells, hate sells, & annoying sells! There'll be more love, hate, & annoyances to boost Apple & non Apple for all.

[mayankleoboy1]

" there is a CRAPP for that"

 

[rohitbaran]

I want to trademark: There is crapp for that!

 

[2real]

at least google and still trade mark we have an app for that or android has an app for that

 

[Soul_keeper]

wtf !
I should trademark "it's time for dinner" before some other bastard gets it and sues me for saying it.
This is ridiculous

Wouldn't that be a hoot:

Steve: We want to trademark the word 'droid'
Patent Office: Sorry Steve, but George already has that patent.
Steve: The hell he does, where's my lawyer?
Steve's Lawyer: Sir, are you sure about this CAD order?
Steve: I'll show them, it was my idea all along....
George's Secretary: Mr. Lucas, we got a Cease And Desist from Apple on the use of the word 'droid'
George: Where's my Death Star?

 

[el_bastardo74]

so, i've been mistaken this whole time. i thought it was already patented, and i thought it was "there's an app for crap" seeing as it could then only truly apply to apple products

 

[Darkerson]

Why am I not all that surprised...

 

[wmalinowski]

I'm suprise they didn't trademark this slogan


"You didn't hold it right"
