Sad silly story [involving magic bio-magnets], so I sent you a PM.

It's a little board software problem.  Just delete everything out of the "To:" field and put in only "DogDayPM" (with or without quotes, depending on how you feel about them) and it will go through.

I thought there was something at least covering marketing specific use in there somewhere, but could not find even that. Basically the document states you own all the copyright to materials you use in an app and that's about it.
The apps you see on billboards and in TV ads? Developers are rarely told about that before they air.
To my knowledge they always know because Apple requests vector artwork (for bllboards) and a ton of custom work around production of a TV ad (I know someone who had an app in one).
The dozens of of apps featured every week in the nearly 100 different country specific AppStores? The only way you find out about that is after a spike in your daily sales numbers.  links of london bracelets
Even then many featured apps are asked for higher resolution artwork. But you're right that they can generally take special note or feature something on a whim.
That said, I'd be pretty pissed (and looking for a cheap patent lawyer) if one of my apps showed up in a patent filing, but I wouldn't be that surprised.links of london jewellery
So would I, though I don't see any need to start with a patent lawyer, Too expensive and it's not really a patent issue.
I would actually start by asking Apple simply to credit the application in the document. Worth far more as potential advertising than any damages you could ever recover. But you'd probably want a lawyer to do the asking.
