The Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) in Brazil stated that it has given the name selected rights to Gradient Eletronica, ironically an Android handset manufacturer.

Gradient Eletronica now owns the right to take legal action against the Cupertino based mobile phone maker for utilizing the iPhone trademark on phones in the Brazilian marketplace.

Worse, the Brazilian firm released an iPhone smartphone in December 2012, & it is running on Android.

It comes with a single core 700MHz central processing unit, a 5 MP snapper, & the outdated Android Gingerbread operating system.
