(InfoWorld) - Apple and Cisco have pushed back a deadline in their legal battle over the iPhone in order to keep working toward a settlement. Cisco sued Apple last monthÂ in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California over its use of the iPhone name, which Cisco uses for some of its own products. The companies have now agreed to give Apple more time to respond to Cisco's suit so the two parties can keep talking in hopes of reaching an agreement on trademark use and interoperability, they said in a brief joint statement Thursday. Cisco's Linksys consumer products division sells VoIP phones under the iPhone name, whichÂ the company said it acquired in its purchase of Infogear in 2000. AppleÂ introduced its iPhone to great fanfareÂ at theÂ Macworld conferenceÂ last month, and Cisco later said the companies had been negotiating use of the name before the show but never reached a deal. According to published reports, Cisco would have been willing to license the iPhone name in exchange for Apple making the handset interoperate smoothly with Cisco's products. Linksys is the biggest seller of consumer Wi-Fi access points and is expanding its home product line into the voice and entertainment realms. Apple's iPhone is equipped with Wi-Fi and includes audio, photo, and video player software. Neither Apple nor Cisco could immediately be reached for comment. Â

(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems Inc. and Apple Inc. have settled a dispute over rights to use the iPhone name. Under terms of the agreement, both companies have the right to use the name. In addition, Cisco and Apple have agreed to "explore opportunities for interoperability" in security and communications technologies for consumers and business users, they said in a brief statement. Other terms of the agreement, which heads off a lawsuit filed by Cisco over rights to the iPhone trademark, were not disclosed. Cisco last month sued AppleÂ in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California for infringing its iPhone trademark with the announcement of a cellular handset that bears the same name. At that time, Cisco said it obtained rights to the iPhone name through its 2000 acquisition of Infogear, which had a product line called iPhone. In addition, Cisco's Linksys division last year began selling a line of dual-mode cordless phones, called iPhone, that let users make VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) calls. Cisco's lawsuit against Apple came shortly after CEO Steve Jobs last month announced the company's own iPhone cellular handsetÂ at the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. That announcement was made without an agreement with Cisco to use the iPhone name, a company spokesman said at the time. Prior to Jobs' iPhone announcement, Apple and Cisco had discussed terms of an agreement for Apple to use the name. Those discussions continued after the iPhone announcement and the filing of the lawsuit, ultimately resulting in the settlement.
