Although Cisco holds a US trademark for iPhone relating to "computer hardware and software for providing integrated telephone communication with computerized global information networks", the trademark is already held by Apple in other jurisdictions. For example, Apple has registered the trademark in Australia in the category covering computer software but not "in respect of Internet telephony and Internet telecommunications". It also has current applications covering electronic toys and games, and "Handheld and mobile digital electronic devices for the sending and receiving of telephone, calls, faxes, electronic mail, and other digital data" plus related software.

Furthermore, one Xiaofeng Wang of Adelaide, Australia, has applied to register the iPhone trademark in connection with "Telecommunications, mobile phone". That application was lodged on 1 December 2006, and has not yet been opposed.{moscomment}
