(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems has given Apple a further extension on the deadline to respond to its lawsuit concerning the iPhone name, the company said late Thursday. Apple wasÂ hit with a trademark infringement lawsuitÂ from Cisco Systems the day after itÂ unveiled a new cell phoneÂ under the name iPhone at January's Macworld Expo in San Francisco. Cisco says its Linksys division owns the trademark on "iPhone" and filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court for Northern California seeking an injunction against Apple using the name. On Thursday evening Cisco said it had agreed to a request from Apple for more time. "Cisco has agreed to give Apple an extension until Wednesday, Feb. 21," the company said in a brief statement. "Cisco is fully committed to using the extra time to reach a mutually beneficial resolution." When Cisco sued Apple on Jan. 10 it revealed that the two companies had been talking about the iPhone name for about two years and were close to a deal on Jan. 8, which was the day before Macworld Expo. When Apple CEO Steve Jobs went ahead on Jan. 9 and announced the phone he did so before an agreement between the two companies had been reached and that pushed Cisco to file its lawsuit. AÂ previous extension was granted AppleÂ by Cisco on Feb. 1 at which time Cisco said it wanted an agreement on "trademark use and interoperability." Those words lend credibility to earlier media reports that Cisco might back-down over the trademark issue if the iPhone were made compatible with its networking gear. Just how serious Apple views the issue or how close the current talks are to a deal is unknown. A few days after being hit with the lawsuit Natalie Kerris, Apple's Director of music public relations, told IDG's Macworld that the company thought the lawsuit is "silly." Linksys launched its iPhoneÂ in late December, just as buzz was building about the possibility of a cell phone and music player combo from Apple coming at Macworld. The Linksys iPhone is a cordless telephone with base station that attaches to the Internet. It means calls can be made from the handset over Skype without the need for a personal computer. Apple's iPhone is a GSM cell phone married with an iPod that runs on Apple's Mac OSX operating system. The phone is due to be released in the U.S. in the middle of this year through a deal with Cingular Wireless. Models for international markets are due out sometime after the U.S. launch.

(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
