Apple sues someone because their logo looks like fruit [Lawsuits]

Branding through Graphic Design... I do think it kinda looks like a the Apple logo but how does it affect Apple a technological company...

Well I'm suing Apple on behalf of my apple tree outside cos their logo looks exactly like Mother Natures fruit. How'd u like them apples then??!?!?!

sorry lol

Not at all...They should be counter-sued..

stupid assholes. i hate crapintosh

More like Lawlsuits, am I right?

its not apples, its arabic for Steve Jobs yanks it too much.

This is just getting pettty now, they don't own the fruit shapes in the whole entire world do they? GET A GRIP ON THEIR GREED.

What's next, suing Souplantation because they have a tomato?

This apple isn't just sour--it's rotten. Maybe apple should focus improving on the quality of its iPhones and less on a logo that really doesn't mirror its own.

Wow...I'm surprised Apple hasn't tried to sue Applebees! Their logo actually looks like Apple's apple! It's a food store for crying out loud. Apple must be desperate or something.

Seriously Apple? You guys make so much money, what's an extra million gonna do?

one of the many reasons i hate apple

This is ridiculous. GO WINDOWS 7!!!!!!!!!!

The truth of the matter is, Apple wants to use that logo. They're jealous cause they didn't think of it first. So, they're gonna try to steal that one.

I think Eris needs to sue Apple for stealing her logo...

Hail Discordia!

ummmmm Apple, u dont even sell actual apples. they do. and anyway, apples are a product of nature, available to everyone. nuff said.

What a slim resemblance between the two logos! Even if Woolworths eventually sells electronics, they're not calling anything "apple."

This is sad in more ways than one.

An Apple a day keeps the lawyers all paid...

I think this is an asia thing. They aren't expecting to win. I'm sure they don't care about Wolworth's The people I suspect they do care about make things like this phone.

another example of many.

If Apple wants to attack Chinese companies like this they have to be consistent and do it everywhere. What I suspect they are hoping for is a decision that they have no rights not because of the look but because Woolworths does not sell phones. This would be a net gain for them.

like they dont have enough money allready.

This is the whole "look and feel" lawsuit all over again.

Hmmm, I wonder what Apples tryin to brew up here...

Haha! The article seems a bit partial to Woolworth's, but I can't help but agree. Seriously? Those logos look nothing alike. Why waste your time in a legal battle over somethign that silly?!

awww... look at that, apple isn't the hipster-hugging teddy bear of a cooperation after all... they are a greedy, froth at the mouth money hungry business just like microsoft! YAY!!!

maybe they should lower the cost of their computers... might do them some good.

LOGOS]---different---[logos

( enough difference )

WTF Apple. It's a W for Woolworths, meant to look like a apple because they sell produce.

Wow this is kind of a stretch for Apple.

to add to the vague title. the fruit in question would be an APPLE

Lol, well seeing as the Australian company actually deals with food, I think theirs is totally appropriate. Apple sux.

Is it hell similar.
1) Not a full apple
2) Apple logo has a bitemark
3) Angle of "light" is different

Apple need to GTFO and die for this.

Didn't the Beatles try to sue Apple a few years ago over their use of Apple in logo as well. Didn't the Beatles lose? Here's hoping Apple experience a similar defeat!!

All your apples are belong to us.

that's kinda sad.. maybe if they manufactured electronics... maybe...

REALLY apple? i mean come on you can't own that fruit, so just chill out. and it doesn't even look like your symbol!!!

Sorry Apple, that's a bit of a stretch. You don't hold a monopoly over fruit iconography.

But if you're looking for some extra money, just come to East Asia. I've lost count of how many times I've come across "Apple iPhones" here.

We used to have a Woolworth's in our city long ago. I was then called "the 5 and dime" because it was an old fashioned discount department store chain dating back to the 1800s. And don't I know it. I found an Indian head penny stuck between the glass product shield that some old timer must have fumbled with and dropped long, long, looong before I got there in the late 1950s. Didn't see any computers there for sale. But you wouldn't have recognized them then anyway because they were'nt consumer products. Only the military had them, and even those had vacuum tubes in them. Transistors didn't evolve until the 1960s, integrated circuits until the 70s. Probably wasn't until the 80s that the first chips were invented. I still see 1980s movies with the first primitive desktop computers in them but compared to my Dell 530 dual core widetower, they looked like stone knives & bearskins from the Jurasic age.

oh god no... they are desperate for profits

I think Apple are clutching at straws here. The logos really aren't that similar.
