Apple and Cisco are temporarily calling a cease fire as they have temporarily suspended their lawsuit and vow to settle out of court. There is now a new deadline of February 15th to come to terms.

Regardless of where you fall on this issue, one thing seems to be incredibly clear to me: Apple doesn’t understand trademark law. According to AHN, “Apple’s director of music public relations, Natalie Kerris told eWeek, “We think the Cisco lawsuit is just ‘silly’, because a number of other VOIP companies are already using the name iPhone.”

IMHO, defending your licensed trademark is not silly. What do you think?
