Apple looks like it is tightening its grip on the “App” and “Mac” naming rights area. Last month, it forced App4mac to change its name. Sure Apple is now in the Mac Apps game but the company in question is six years old and named itself App4Mac two years before iOS turned Applications into apps. Patrice Calligaris, CEO writes to tell us:
On May 6, we received this letter from Apple lawyers. On June 1st, our company become adnX.com. Before we were app4mac.com during six years and it has never been a problem.
We complied only for the first case as other two cases are silly. We fixed the graphics that they did not like.
