Apple Trademark on 'Genius Bar'

[This is a print-out from the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office computer of applications for trademark, showing the status of Apple's application for a trademark on the words "Genius Bar." As you can see, the words first were used back in May 2001, but apparently the trademark process was discontinued, abandoned or not carried through by Apple. In April 2004 Apple got the ball rolling again, and as of July 30, 2004 it was still in-progress. Download (pdf) the application and some of Apple's supporting submissions.]
