Two brothers from Italy have registered the Steve Jobs brand. Apple has put a stop to this, but the judge agrees with the brothers. The road is now free for a Steve Jobs smartphone on Android.

If there's one thing everyone remembers about Steve Jobs, it's his sartorial elegance.The black turtlenecks, the slightly baggy Levi's jeans and the New Balance sneakers were the required look for everyone who was anyone. Surely you remember George Clooney wearing them all the time.

Now Two Barbato brothers discovered that Apple and Steve Jobs had not registered the name Steve Jobs. The Italian brother then registered the brand and associated logo. The logo of the men makes a nod to the Apple logo. It is a J with the tip of the I in the form of an apple stalk. Like the Apple logo, the J of the Barbato brothers also has a snack from the side. Although the judge believes that you can not take a bite out of a J.

Way free for Steve Jobs smartphone
After the brothers Barbato found out that Steve Jobs and Apple had not registered the name, the fashion brothers themselves registered the name. The pair has Steve Jobs registered the brand both in Italy and in the rest of the world. Of course, Apple wanted to put a stop to it and ended it in a legal battle. The brothers say the courts sided with them after Cupertino objected to this logo.

"Apple attacked us on a particular of the logo: the J that appears bitten, recalling the famous apple. But a letter is not a fruit and consequently that on the letter can not be a bite. That we were unassailable by every point of view," the brothers told La Repubblica.

The letter is not a fruit. That sounds like something René Magritte surely wishes he'd painted. The brothers told Business Insider Italia that they have now registered the brand all over the world. I couldn't find it in the USPTO registry.
