Apple Sues Grocery Store

[gamefan5]

That... looks nothing like the Apple logo Mddy.

Well done, Apple.

It won't be long now until Apple sues God Himself for inventing the apple.XD

Stay classy, gamefan5.

Just when you think they couldn't go any lower, they just got lower.

Well, Apple is stupid, just after they release iPhone 5. LoL! I don't see any resemblance though: look here

This thread and news made my day! ~ ~

Clearly the round and green logo is Apple.

That's why you should never take a bite of an apple(fruit). Always make sure that you cut it in half.

That's not sarcasm, you never know people, you never know.....

Truth. I found a dead worm in an apple about a year ago, it was gross.

But now that there's two companies with identically pronounced names

Two companies that are not in competition. The point of a trademark is to prevent other companies you're competing with from using your likeness to confuse customers into buying from them instead of you, right? This is a US-based electronics manufacturer against a Poland-based online grocery store.

It's like Bethesda sueing Mojang for using the word "Scroll", except Apple does bullshit like this way too often.

Actually that's not what happened. Mojang was trying to trademark the term "Scrolls" and Bethesda objected for obvious reasons.

Oops. Lol I get it, lesson learned, think more deeper before you post.

If I'm not mistaken, Apple trademarked the "lower case letter 'i' in front of a capitalised noun" design ever since they came out with the iPod. There was some hearsay that Apple sued a company for using iSomething* as the name of their product. THAT makes sense because every time you see that kind of name, you think of Apple, or at least I do. That would be a reasonable case of brand name dilution that tueidj mentioned earlier and would be reasonable basis for legal action.

NOW, if Apple were to trademark just the lower case letter 'i'...

WAAAT? Can you clarify what you trying to say? Even tho what I post was only a joke.

I think they mainly sued over the floating leaf.

inb4 Apple Juice companies go down too.

 

[Vampire Lied]

Apple should sue orchard owners. Apples are a living copyright infringement after all.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I've had some time to think and I thought of something to say. How can you copyright a fruit? It just doesn't make sense that they'd allow something like that. It's fine that their company name is Apple and all, but no one associates the brand Apple with apples, it doesn't have any significance at all when other people use apples in their logo.
