Apple has scored an early victory in a lawsuit brought against the company by TigerDirect, which alleged Mac OS X 10.4, known as Tiger, infringed on its trademarked name. U.S. District Court Judge Joan Lenard rejected TigerDirect's request for a preliminary injunction forcing Apple to stop using the word tiger. "There is greater risk of damage to Apple from granting the injunction than any potential harm to TigerDirect from Apple's use of Tiger marks," Lenard wrote in a 56-page decision, according to AppleInsider.

TigerDirect filed the suit last month, just days before Apple's new operating system was slated to go on sale. The online retailer claimed Apple engaged in deceptive and unfair trade practices and that Apple's use of Tiger, "is causing confusion, mistake and deception among the general purchasing public."
