Amazon has filed its official response to Apple's lawsuit over the use of the words 'App Store' asking a federal judge in San Francisco to throw out the case.
Amazon calls the trademark claim baseless and uses Steve Jobs own statements against him. During an Apple quarterly conference call Jobs referred repeatedly to "app stores," in a generic sense.
"So there will be at least four app stores on Android, which customers must search among to find the app they want and developers will need to work with to distribute their apps and get paid. This is going to be a mess for both users and developers.

Microsoft recently brought in a linguist to contest Apple's trademark application for the words 'app store'.
