After a unanimous decision in a federal court, Apple has suffered yet another legal setback in Brazil, this time over the rights to the “iPhone” trademark.
A bit of background
Longtime 9to5Mac readers may remember that Brazilian electronics company IGB Eletrônica (formerly Gradiente) has been fighting Apple for more than a decade over the right to use the “iPhone” name in the country.
Gradiente filed for the “G Gradiente Iphone” trademark in 2000 and was granted registration in 2008. By that point, Apple had obviously already launched its iPhone globally.
