On another note, I was once contacted through Apple's infringement service, that the app I wrote, was infringing on someone else's.

The app started with the first four letters of their app name ("Ambi").

they were probably going after any app that started with those four letters, so they would rank higher in searches. Since they used Apple's service, they could probably have had my app taken down, even though there was no way that their claim had any merit.

In that case, I was planning on changing the app's name, anyway (it wasn't a very good name), but I could see this kind of thing being a huge PItA.
