— Cisco Systems has sued Apple Inc. in federal court, saying the computer-maker's new iPhone violates its trademark.

San Jose-based Cisco, the world's largest network-equipment maker, has owned the trademark on the name "iPhone" since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name.

Three weeks ago, Cisco's Linksys division put the trademark to use, releasing an Internet phone called "iPhone" that uses Voice-over Internet Protocol. But on Tuesday, Jobs unveiled Apple's own iPhone.
