The term "Apple 1" is a registered trademark of Apple, it might not be the best name to use.

[Matteo]

For what i know mentioning a distro is not a violation and for what i have checked in online US PATENT homepage the patent is dead.

Patent <> TradeMark

[Matteo]

The trademark was Apple Computer and is dead.

I am dubious about that claim. I hope you have deep pockets. You may need them.

[Imperf3kt]

Looking in better depth, "Apple 1" may not be a trademark of Apple.

I say 'may not' because the list is non-exhaustive.

Personally, I would still exercise caution in using the term.

[Matteo]

And to be clear there is no apple name in the distribution, it is called POM1rpi2 check two times before speaking!

[Matteo]

and POM1 is under gnu gpl v2 like raspbian.

Faur enough, but then I must wonder, how does the thread title relate?

[Matteo]

A thread title has nothing in common with a patent or trademark it's only a mention if you want to claim everyone who write or speak apple let me know!

Companies get very picky about trademark use. This is primarily because if a trademark name is used to mean something generic, the company can lose the trademark and it becomes "common usage". That has happened a number of times. "Aspirin" and "linoleum" started out as trademarks, for instance. This is rather less likely to happen to "Apple", but one might well expect a zealous response if the company becomes aware of its use here.

Also, the RPF has to guard its trademarks, so it is hardly doing the RPF any favors to misuse the trademarks of other companies on a web site owned by the RPF.

You may or may not like these practices, but they are what they are and the laws governing such things apply until they are changed.

I have change the name of the tread for quiet live, but the content of the trademark must be an intellectual propriety to be applicable. To be more clear there is not violation of tradmark by nominating a name, it must be an invention.

I have to question your grasp of intellectual property law. While what you say might possibly be true in the country in which you live, that claim is certainly not applicable everywhere and is not what is generally understood to be required.

[Matteo]

And os on what is required?

It's an Apple 1 emulator AIUI. A computer that went out of production in 1977.
