subject: !Book trademark and license

Dear Mr Panko,
1am Brian Reynolds of Family Systems Ltd which owns the trademark "ibook''. You have sometimes communicated through my
trademark attorney when requesting permission for Apple to register the "I Book" trademark in various foreign countries. This is
pursuant to a Ucense Agreement from Family Systems Ltd to Apple Inc created in 1996.

Family Systems is about to relaunch lbook Systems V4 and VS as cooperative projects along with a Cooperative Ucense and
Verbal, a language framework for talking to objects. This will potentially reshape how the ibook trademark is used.
Apple has recently stopped using the !Book trademark for notebook computers as it has focussed on the !Phone and MacBook. If I
were In Apple's shoes 1would be taking this opportunity to create a new form of !Book Computer using iphone touch technology In a
bigger screen closer to tablet PC size.
This market has been latent since the dynabook was first conceptualised and its various manifestations have always sufferred from
the need to operate with a stylus which gets lost. The !Phone touch screen technology solves that and In a larger format would
make the dynabook finally a reality. What better name than iBook?
If this happens there is potential for a naming clash or contusion if both offerings occur in similar time frame, so I wonder whether it
woud be wise to take steps now to ensure clarity. Without asking for any comment on their product plans, is It possible for you to
determine whether Apple Inc would be interested In greater control of the !Book trademark worldwide?
1would consider a sale of these trademarks to Apple with a license back to Family Systems. My product Intentions will be open and
possibly more easily described in a license to Family Systems than Apple's in the license to Apple. As I recall the license to Apple
is at present limited to notebook computers which a new !Book may be, though perhaps It may be other things too?

1will be pleased to receive your response,

Brian Reynolds,
Managing Director,
Family Systems Ltd.
