modmyiphone.com has received a letter from Apple’s Lawyers requesting them to change their name. And that’s not all:

– Apple owns, through its Ocean Telecom affiliate numerous U.S. and international filings for the iPhone trademark U.S. Ser. No. 77/007,808.
– Since the services we offer here on MMi are directly related to Apple’s iPhone, Apple Inc. believes that ModMyiPhone will inevitably confuse consumers into believing we are associated with Apple Inc., therefore infringing on Apple’s Trademark rights.
– Apple is concerned that ModMyiPhone also dilutes and tarnishes the distinctive quality of Apple’s famous iPhone mark.
– We are not allowed to use the Apple registered Apple Design Logo No. 2,715,578 that is displayed on our links to several “iPhone Topsites,” which are unauthorized third party websites.
– Apple assumes that it is not our intent to create customer confusion. they are correct we are not trying to confuse people
– Apple asks that we abandon the use of all domain names that have iPhone in them on this website and to agree not to use ModMyiPhone or any other mark, name, domain name, logo, tagline, slogan, or anything else that contains iPhone for goods and services related to or competitive with Apple’s iPhone or dilutive to Apple’s trademark rights.
– Apple further requests that all use of its product photographs and the Apple Design Logo immediately and permanently cease.
