You Apple guys fall for meaningless trademarks every single time! AirDrop is just ad hoc services, which were on Android first. This is a post made with respect to your AirDrop claim. ------------------------------------------ Let's take "AirDrop® ad hoc services" first. There is no such thing as "Airdrop". Apple says so themselves. http://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/trademark/appletmlist.html Just like RCA and ThinkPad are trademarks that are bought and sold among companies (none of which are currently from the "original" RCA or IBM), the word you use is merely a meaningless M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G "adjective" which Apple *bought* on Thursday, July 08, 2010 from another company. - Apple Officially Acquires ´AirDrop¡ Trademark http://www.mactrast.com/2011/06/apple-officially-acquires-airdrop-trademark/ http://www.trademarkia.com/airdrop-85080406.html Apple M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G also registered the *logo* on March 7, 2013 http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2013/03/apples-airdrop-logo-is-now-a-registered-trademark.html Where the point is that it's a purely M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G tool that, in and of itself, is entirely meaningless (just as "Tylenol", in and of itself, is entirely meaningless and can be used for *anything* J&J wants to use it for just as Techron is used for a ton of unrelated products). It's M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G Rod. Pure unadulterated (and very clever) M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G . Which means it means nothing. It means whatever Apple MARKETING wants it to mean. And they clearly say it means nothing in and of itself. The fact is that Apple says you must "include an appropriate generic term after the trademark the first time it appears. Thereafter, the generic term should appear frequently with the trademark." This is no different than any other M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G trademark much as Adobe and Ford and Mercury and Techron and Tylenol, etc. For you to succumb so readily to meaningless M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G is a problem, because M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G's job is to feed you manure and your job is to pay for that manure (while Apple corporate laughs all the way to the bank). OK. So we've shown that you must always follow the meaningless trademark with meaningful generic functionality. The generic term for what the AirDrop® "software feature" does is called "ad hoc services": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirDrop - The AirDrop® software feature is an ad hoc service. An ad hoc service is defined here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_ad_hoc_network - Smart phone ad hoc networks leverage the existing hardware (primarily Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) in commercially available smart phones to create peer-to-peer networks without relying on cellular carrier networks, wireless access points, or traditional network infrastructure. SPANs differ from traditional hub and spoke networks, such as Wi-Fi Direct, in that they support multi-hop relays and there is no notion of a group leader so peers can join and leave at will without destroying the network. *Clearly Android has ad hoc services.* In fact, the Android ad hoc services work both inside and outside the walled garden, whereas the AirDrop® brand ad hoc services only work *inside* the walled garden. So clearly, not only does Android have plenty of modern ad hoc services, but Android had them before Apple ever bought the exclusive rights to use the word "AirDrop®" as a legal trademark adjective for its limited primitive brand of ad hoc services.
