What you're describing is a trademark then, not a patent. If it's a patent, then it's about the very concept of an app store, which is yet another modern IP/software/business model patent absurdity.

In my limited understanding, that means others can make app stores, but can't call them that, whereas "patenting App Stores" would mean others couldn't make app stores. I may be wrong.
