No, there are only trademark rights to trademarks that would create confusion among consumers that the products or services actually came from Apple.
There are a few other "i - word" trademarks registered and not owned by Apple. For instance, there is a TV show called iCarly. Also consider iMap, iMix...
The fact that your business relates to apps would make it unlikely you would succeed in registering your trademark with iAnything, unless you have a pile of money and a few years to waste on litigating it.
Registration in the USA and in the UK is completely optional.
No, Apple has not cornered the market of i... words, they have trademarked quite a few though. You can find other products like the iHome brand of iPod accessories with no official connection to Apple.
They actually had to buy the rights to iPad, using a 3rd party representative to conceal their identities, they seem to have exceeded the terms of the agreement.
No. Not unless they have registered it.
I think they do and,what is you're app I'll download it ;)
I want to create an app, with 'i' as a prefix, but I'm not sure whether or not apple have it as a trademark...
