[sarcasm]Oh yeah, Apple has definitely been known to intentionally harm other companies to help itself.[/sarcasm]

I wonder if this company's claims are legit?  I wonder if they have a case against apple.  I wonder if they will seek the true idealism of this kind of lawsuit and make apple not use the term Rendezvous.  I doubt it, they probably just want money and will then rename their product... or retire.

Didn't Apple want to trademark the names of big cats?

If MS can TM Windows then Apple should be able to trademark  something as specific as Jaguar or Panther.

they do.... but will they want money or will they want apple to change the name.  In "the perfect world" they would just want (maybe) a compensation for money they lost and for apple to change the name.  But I suspect they will just want a lot of "doh" and let Apple keep the name cus they just want the money.  I think they are just using this naming thing as a way of getting money... not serving justice or changing anything.
