I tend to agree with it. It is distinctly linked to the product, like the Loony
Tunes signature,

"Apple patents sliced bread" stories are popular
at the moment. The obvious
explanation is that these
stories sell advertising, but why? I think Apple is
becoming a litigation company, and I like these stories
because they confirm
my prejudice. There are plenty
of people posting comments about how annoyed
they
are about Apple's current business model and plenty
more people saying
"it ain't so". Controversy proves
people read the article and (presumably) saw
the
adverts that feed journalists.
Have we reached the point where
fanboys and shills
generate controversy that fuels more articles
about Apple
becoming a litigation company?

30 cents flat is a mechanical failure, not slightly out of tune.
The mushy synth has a totally unidentifiable timbre.
The professional musicians I worked with laughed,
more at the prententiousness of it, "real" computers
did nothing, or had a tiny beep.

I noticed they specified the tuning as A = 432.4 Hz. Why? This simple major
chord would sound terribly out of tune to most instruments, which observe the
standard pitch reference of A = 440 Hz. I doubt it possible to trademark a
chord. You certainly couldn't copyright it, or any chord, or any sequence of
chords. Has software patent madness infected the trademarks division? No, folks
have been trademarking music in relation to a certain field of endeavor for a
while now.
Why would Apple trademark something that no one on earth would want to steal?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Graphics and so on are also protected by copyright, but can be trademarks too.
The trick is whether there is a strong association with a particular product. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
