????[更新：大約美國東部時間本周二早上7點后，亞馬遜應用程序商店正式上線?？磥硖O果不得不重新走上法庭，進行新的舉證來指控亞馬遜。] ????現(xiàn)在是周二早晨，根據(jù)《紐約時報》（New York Times）的報道，亞馬遜（Amazon）在今天正式涉足移動應用程序市場。他們首先獻上的大禮是，為谷歌（Google）Android手機用戶免費提供《憤怒的小鳥Rio》（Angry Birds Rio）下載。 ????不過截止到美國東部時間早上6點，《紐約時報》提供的鏈接（amazon.com/appstore）仍然無法使用。如果蘋果（Apple）對亞馬遜的起訴成功的話，該鏈接也許將永遠無法使用。 ????[更新：上述鏈接現(xiàn)在可以使用了。] ????上周，蘋果在加州聯(lián)邦法院對亞馬遜提起訴訟，要求法院禁止亞馬遜使用“應用程序商店”（Appstore）一詞。三年前，蘋果為自己的“應用程序商店”注冊了商標。蘋果應用程序商店已發(fā)展成大型在線軟件商店，擁有超過35萬款為iPhone、iPad和iPod touch量身定做的應用程序，目前下載量已超過100億次。 ????蘋果在訴狀中表示：“亞馬遜的移動軟件下載服務可能會對移動軟件的下載者造成混淆，后者可能分辨不清該服務是否是由蘋果贊助，或是經(jīng)過了蘋果許可。” ????今年1月份，微軟（Microsoft）曾就蘋果的“應用程序商店”商標一事對后者提起訴訟，微軟認為“應用程序商店”是個含義寬泛的普通詞語。蘋果在法庭上對此說法提出反駁，蘋果表示，“Windows”一詞比“應用程序商店”含義更寬泛，而微軟一直在竭力保護其“Windows”商標，從法律角度而言，商標持有人這么做無可厚非。 ????譯者：項航 |
????[UPDATE: Sometime after 7:00 a.m. EST, the Amazon Appstore went live. Looks like Apple will have to go back to court and start specifying those unspecified damages it was seeking.] ????Okay. It's Tuesday morning, and according to the New York Times, Amazon is supposed to enter the mobile app business today with a splash -- giving away a free copy of Angry Birds Rio for Google (GOOG) Android phones. ????But as of 6:00 a.m. EST, the link the Times provided (amazon.com/appstore) wasn't working, and it may never work if Apple (AAPL) has anything to say about it. ????[UPDATE: It's working now.] ????Last week, Apple sued Amazon in a California federal court, asking a judge to block Amazon from using the term "Appstore." Three years ago, Apple applied for a trademark on its own "App Store," an online software emporium that now offers more than 350,000 applications for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and has delivered more than 10 billion downloads. ????"Consumers of mobile software downloads are likely to be confused as to whether Amazon's mobile software download service is sponsored or approved by Apple," Apple said in its complaint. ????In January, Microsoft (MSFT) challenged Apple's App Store trademark, arguing that the term "app store" is generic. Apple countered in court that "App Store" is no more generic than "Windows," a trademark Microsoft has fought vigorously to defend -- as, by law, any trademark holder must. |
