Am i allowed to name an app/project starting with lowercase "i"?

E.g.

iDriveCar
iPoopShit
iEatFood

Etc...

Or has this been patented by Apple so only they can name words in such format?

In .net, interfaces conventionally start with "I".

I wonder if Apple sued over iCarly

Try iApple

You can try, then you get to meet iSue.

@spongessuck @tosensei @Demolishun @localpost @electrineer @CoreFusionX its a serious question btw. The app has NOTHING to do with apple. Its literally just an independent app and i think a name in such format would fit well. But it bothers me because ive never seen anyone name a product or service like that other than apple

@b2plane

For real, don't know

IANAL, but chances are that while they can't trademark "i*", they could try to press a case, specially if it's something IT related.

And if course, they can always resort to their usual bullying tactics.

No serious company would do that since it would make their product sound like a piece of crap.

I'm no lawyer. Fuck around and find out.

Big companies have managed to patent/trademark seemingly arbitrary things like Boeing using 7**, Peugeot using *0* and Porsche using 9**.

Do you definitely have to have a name that may infringe on a patent/trademark? Do you want to take that risk? Do you have the funds to fight it if they find out?
