Apple to New York City: Bite Me
First it was Apple fighting with the Beatles over the use of the popular fruit, now New York City is looking for a slice of the… apple.
Apple computers fears New York’s new GreeNYC logo will cause “consumer confusion”. It is a claim that is refuted by the city however.
“The city believes that Apple’s claims have no merit and that no consumer is likely to be confused,” says Gerald Singleton, the intellectual-property lawyer representing the Big Apple. “This well-known city is using its new design in a variety of contexts that have absolutely nothing to do with Apple Inc.”
