It claimed that Apple approached the company in 2001 about acquiring or licensing the rights to the name and continued to do so up to several times last year. It said it negotiated with Apple "in good faith" and sent an agreement for Apple to sign on Tuesday, following Apple's announcement.
They'll come to some sort of an agreement but I'm guessing it will cost a little more today than it would have a week ago.
