In Brazil, started selling the iPhone for Android

iPhone recently launched in Russia and we have already discussed first sales results in our country. However, today the whole world is talking about iPhone sales in Brazil. In December, Apple has launched the sale in the South American country, however, the company from Cupertino has a competitor who wants to sell its iPhone. The piquancy of the situation lies in the fact that the iPhone is not Apple produced, and it is installed Android.

Tonight Brazilian company IGB Electronica SA presented new android-smartphone called the iPhone Neo One, which is on par with the original device will be sold in the shops of the country.

The fact is that in 2000, IGB Electronica SA registered the trade mark iPhone in Brazil. Exactly six years before it is made by Apple in California. Thus, the Brazilian company insists on exclusive sales of its iPhone in the territory of a very important market for Apple.

Note that Apple already had similar problems: iOS trademark owned by Cisco, iPad took the name the Chinese company and one Mexican company tried to register the mark iFon.

Apple has not commented on the situation, but in the court IGB Electronica SA did not apply. It is believed that the companies will be able to peacefully settle the issue because the iPhone Neo One is more like a bad clone of HTC, and therefore can not seriously compete with Apple's smartphone.
