AirPOD Vs. iPod

As soon as one company starts getting bigger, lawsuits start to flow from left and right, from above and below. Well, that's not a rule, and as long as you're going to name your products "7rd-SDc0-3833291" or "8888RD888239A", you should be safe from those trying to take advantage of your popularity (think about "brands" like Reobok ur Abibas - if you never heard of them, that's good, but they do exist...). These being said, today we'll find out more about Apple's problem with an air purifier, called AirPOD...
AirPOD

This device comes from a Delaware company called BlueAir(first, I thought they are a flight training company, or an airline!), and they are bringing Apple into the court of law. The reason? In a 4-page complaint, BlueAir Inc. claims Apple's lawyers have problems with the registration of the airPOD trademark and have been threatening to file oppositions with the United States Trademark Office.

I love Apple. "Most of the time", I must add. This time, the situation is absolutely ridiculous! Next, are they going to sue BlueAir for using the "Air" word in the name of the company?

I know, I know, this time BlueAir is filing the complaint, but I guess they didn't come up with those accusations "out of thin air"... or maybe they did? I can't really tell that, but we should see what happens next. In my opinion, Apple should leave such (lame) accusations aside, and leave the guys at BlueAir do their job. After all, they are not trying to request a trademark for a PMP called "iiPod" or "aiPod", it's just an air cleaner!
