Apple has filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in an attempt to obtain ownership of the domain names Applecom.com and ApplePrinters.com , according to “The Next Web” (http://macte.ch/nBMr3).

The WIPO is the United Nations agency “dedicated to the use of intellectual property (patents, copyright, trademarks, designs, etc.) as a means of stimulating innovation and creativity.” The mission is to “promote innovation and creativity for the economic, social and cultural development of all countries, through a balanced and effective international intellectual property system.”
