Apple has been
seeking a trademark for “App Store” in Australia since the launch of its App
Store service in 2008. According to ZDNet, the Federal
Court in Sydney held a hearing to resolve the dispute between Apple and the
Registrar of Trade Marks of Australia.
In the hearing,
Apple attempted to show that the term has been inherently associated with its
service by the public since 2008. To refute Apple’s position, the Registrar
noted that “appstore” was registered as the trademark of another U.S. company
well before the 2008 launch of Apple’s App Store.
