Oh dear Apple, it just seems to get more ridiculous:

Apple fought in court against Mexican telecom iFone over similarly sounding names. Arrogance or ignorance, Apple didn't have much of case there, as the iFone trademark was registered four years before the first records of the iPhone name.

Jesus, that's dumb. Why would they even pick that fight? They had to know there was no way they could win.

I'm going to guess ignorance. They probably saw the name when they were lawsuit happy and added it to a growing list. Once they actually started proceedings is probably when they realised they were screwed.
