Cisco: We've got your trademark. We've got your trademark. Apple: Bastards. OK, I guess we buy it off you then. Cisco: Hurrah ! We'll accept $lots. Apple: Haha. No. Instead we'll pay you $notmuch. Cisco: Haha. No. Apple: Fine, we've now released our product anyway ! Cisco: Bastards. OK, I guess we sue you then. Apple: Except you're obviously not going to win. Cisco: Dude, we totally are. We're going to win, you're going to have spent lots of money and then have to spend lots more on a rebranding exercise. Apple: Fine. How about we pay you $reasonablesum instead ? Cisco: how about you pay us $lots. Apple: That's daylight robbery. Cisco: If you don't want it feel free to do the whole rebrand thing. Apple: Grumble. You win. Cisco: Hurrah! Apple: We're still the prettiest. Cisco (to self): Still not king yet. :(
