Re:Why does apple license some things and not othe (Score 1)

I read somewhere that if company A pays to license some IP from company B, that can later be used as evidence that the IP is owned by company B. (Example: Microsoft licensing UNIX IP from SCO is seen as evidence against IBM in SCO's suit against IBM) Analagously, paying up for use of this trademark may have legal ramifications down the road, mightn't it?
