Apple Computer is seriously targeting use of the word "Pod" in an attempt to protect infringement of its popular iPod trademark.
According to reports, Apple has sent "cease-and-desist" letters to companies that are using in any way, "Pod" as part of their names or products. So far, letters have been received by two companies, including Mach5products which makes Profit Pod, and the other company named TightPod.
Profit Pod is a device that compiles data from vending machines, while TightPod manufactures slip-on covers designed to protect electronic products such as laptops and MP3 players.
The two companies have been asked to remove the word Pod from their/their products' names. Additionally, TightPod has come out with a new product by the same name for which again Apple has asked the company to abandon its trademark.
