IPod maker Apple and the guardian of The Beatles' music resolved their long-simmering dispute on Monday about who has the right to the Apple trademark.

The settlement between Apple Inc. and Apple Corps offered greater hope to fans of George, Paul, John and Ringo that the two sides could now focus on permitting downloads of the band's music through the computer company's iTunes Music Store

Yeah, I saw that. As my wife is an IP attorney, I've sort of had a 'running account' from a professional's POV of this issue. Much the way the whole "IPhone" controversy is developing.

I suspect the Beatles made a very VERY handsome piece of change out of this. As I suspect that Cisco will when APPLE settles over the Iphone mark.
