==Tiger trademark lawsuit==
Shortly before the release of Mac OS X Tiger, the computer retailer [[TigerDirect.com|TigerDirect.com, Inc.]] filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging that Apple infringed TigerDirect.com's trademark with the Mac OS X Tiger operating system.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/05/04/28/apple_sued_over_tiger_injunction_sought.html|title=Apple sued over "Tiger," injunction sought|author=AppleInsider Staff|date=April 28, 2005|publisher=AppleInsider|access-date=July 10, 2006|archive-date=April 10, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070410055620/http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/05/04/28/apple_sued_over_tiger_injunction_sought.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The following is a quotation from TigerDirect.com's court memorandum:

:''Apple Computer's use of its infringing family of Tiger marks to expand sales of products besides its operating system software is already evident — for example, Apple Computer is offering free iPods and laptops as part of its Tiger World Premiere giveaway. In short, notwithstanding its representation to the PTO that it would only use Tiger in connection with their unique computer operating system software, Apple Computer has in recent weeks used a family of Tiger marks in connection with a substantially broader group of products and services, including the very products and services currently offered by Tiger Direct under its famous family of Tiger marks.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=147715&cid=12377926|title=Some points for TigerDirect|author=lawyerguy|date=April 28, 2005|publisher=Slashdot|access-date=July 10, 2006|archive-date=September 19, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220919180611/https://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=147715&cid=12377926|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2005 TigerDirect was denied a [[preliminary injunction]] that would have prevented Apple from using the mark while the case was decided.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/05/05/13/court_sides_with_apple_over_tiger_trademark_dispute.html|title=Court sides with Apple over "Tiger" trademark dispute|author=Kasper Jade|date=May 13, 2005|publisher=AppleInsider|access-date=August 10, 2006|archive-date=September 27, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927000250/http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/05/05/13/court_sides_with_apple_over_tiger_trademark_dispute.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Apple and TigerDirect reached a settlement in 2006, after which TigerDirect withdrew its opposition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91163437&pty=OPP&eno=13|title=Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, proceeding 91163437|date=May 8, 2006|access-date=January 27, 2015|archive-date=February 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170203095925/http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91163437&pty=OPP&eno=13|url-status=live}}</ref>
