The Federal Court in Florida has denied a request for an injunction by computer retailer TigerDirect in their lawsuit against Apple over the name for their latest version of OS X, “Tiger”.
It seems that, like Aunty, the court believes that TigerDirect’s claims about the tiger in their tank is more of a tempest in a teapot.
TigerDirect’s claim, embodied in a lawsuit which was filed just hours before Apple’s Tiger OS X went on sale to the public, was that by using the term “tiger” in the name of the new version of their popular Mac operating system, Apple was likely to cause confusion in the minds of the consumer public, and somehow lead the public who was looking for TigerDirect to Apple instead.
Uh huh.
Tidbits which the court found compelling included…

Well people might get confused. If they are idiots and also think that Tony the Tiger, The Detroit Tigers, Memphis State Tigers, and Tiger Woods are owned by TigerDirect.
