The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied Apple's bid to trademark the term "iPad Mini," contending that "mini" is "merely descriptive" of goods or services sold in miniature form.

More blatant audacity!

It is amazing to me what Apple seeks to patent/copyright and trademark.
Yes others do it too, but Apple seems to exceed imagination.
