A trademark on hands free crutches would not be any impediment for the
same trademark to be used for a PDA. There are 42 categories in which to
file a trademark. Not everybody is filing in all 42 categories.
However, three days prior to product launch one would expect the
respective trademark to have been filed. A big corporation like Apple is
unlikely to leave this up to the last minute.
