Comments on: iPhone trademark owner in Brazil ‘open’ to selling rights to Apple http://macdailynews.com/2013/02/05/iphone-trademark-owner-in-brazil-open-to-selling-rights-to-apple/ Apple and Mac News Tue, 21 May 2013 07:37:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ivar http://macdailynews.com/2013/02/05/iphone-trademark-owner-in-brazil-open-to-selling-rights-to-apple/comment-page-1/#comment-1152687 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:51:28 +0000 http://macdailynews.com/?p=99185#comment-1152687 Now now, RL,

I wholeheartedly agreed with you the first remark but that last one is uncalled for. There is no such thing as us Americans. I live in one of the smaller nations in the world, one forever grateful for the 40-45 support from the US, UK and Canada, and there is not even a thing as us Dutch. Americans have a lot to be proud of, but please, be a little modest, when it is clear to every one on earth that the US is big in many ways, you do not need to re-emphasize. That fact that a large part of the world puts up with some of the stunt the US pull is evidence that you are being cut some slack every now and then. So thank you for saving our asses and thank you for consuming an irrational and disproportional amount of energy.

Yours, Ivar

Cast us Americans as knuckle headed cunts. Last time I looked we saved the world back in 1940-45 with hundreds of thousands of our knuckle headed soldiers blood. We created the polio vaccine, oh yea don’t forget about the Internet. How about creating Apple, the microchip, the Panama Canal, eradicated malaria, the most giving nation in the history of nations. What has your government done lately. Would have hated to see if the USA wasn’t around after WWII. Count me in as a knuckle headed cunt then.

Just reprogram the laser etcher for the batch going for sale in Brazil. Constrain the supply targeted for Brazil so you have no leftovers, and let them enjoy their iPhone trademark for as much as they can.

Which distresses him greatly, so he’s trying to shill his Brazilian trademark out in public so maybe Apple will pay attention and fork over some dough for it. Yawn.

He’s gonna have lots of fun with his iPhone trademark, like it’s ever going to be relevant to anything but Apple. 8O

To even suggest a drone strike in jest (though I’m unconvinced it was) for something as inconsequential as a trademark is the act of a brain-dead cunt of the highest order.

Things will sort out.

Calm down. You are the one that is going ballistic. Do you have any sense that pdr400 is not promoting violence but trying to be over the top. Maybe he does not succeed but dude take your prozac and take a time out. Luke please don’t reproduce either.

Why now? Is it because there is now a large iPhone assembly plant due to open in Brazil? If Apple inc. refuse to initiate talks, will they sue Apple inc.? Can they sue Apple inc. having not asserted their trading name for five years plus? Any Brazilian patent law experts to comment on this issue?
