Assuming Apple really made such a stupid agreement and/or gets a judge like the one who used to be on the H-P case, they could make Apple change its brand names. I'm fairly sure that company names cannot be copyrighted in the U.S, so any such agreement as to the company name would probably be held to be invalid (you can't have a contract which gives something for nothing). > >2) If the answer to one is "yes", what suggestions do you have for Apple's new >name? :-> Beatles, of course.... Disclaimer: I'm definitely not a lawyer, so any and all legal information above is not only suspect, its probably WRONG. -- Matthew T.
