So the two parties really have to come to terms. Apple will probably pay dearly for this.

It's really Apple's fault. They fueled the rumor mills of an iPhone for years. They could have figured out a new name (you can brand ANYTHING) or they should have settled with Cisco much earlier and much more privately.
