Apple Inc. will “probably” lose its court bid to stop Amazon.com Inc. from using the term “Appstore” for a service selling programs for Android devices, a federal judge said.
Apple, whose top-selling product is the iPhone, claimed it would be irreparably harmed because the value of its own App Store will be eroded as consumers confuse the two services.
