Apple sues Amazon

[source] - Apple sues Amazon for App Store trademark infringement

Apple, which is already engaged in a heated battle with Microsoft for the protection of its "App Store" trademark, has filed suit against Amazon for its "improper use" of the same. Amazon's Android Appstore seems to have been intentionally contracted to a single word to differentiate its name, but that difference isn't enough for Apple, which has asked a California court to grant a ruling preventing Amazon's use of the moniker and asking for unspecified damages.

I'm surprised that Apple could copyright the phrase 'App store' in the first place. It is far too generic to be reserved for a single corporation.
It would be like if the word Avatar was copyrighted.

Well, courts and copyrights can be strange sometimes. They don't always make sense.
