DIGG really needs to sort this out....................................................... - tnvwboy, on 10/07/2008, -19/+158Other than being an apple and the leaf is pointing in the same direction there is no reason someone should get these two logos mixed up. Apple is doing what it has to, but will let it drop once they loose, which they know they will. It's just a formality to show that they are protecting their brand.
- CoreyHalliwell, on 10/07/2008, -9/+134You can copyright fruit now?
- wukillabee, on 10/07/2008, -22/+128lol it doesnt even look like the crapple logo
- RogerStrong, on 10/07/2008, -5/+92>> Apple has every right to protect their logo.
So you agree that APPLE RECORDS had every right to protect their logo? That they should have been successful in stopping Apple Computers from using an apple logo?
Should Canadian McIntosh apple orchards be able to prevent Apple Computers from using the "Macintosh" name?
Apple Computers has had a lot of variations on their logo over the years. Show any logo with an apple in it, and you can find one from Apple Computers that matches. The one in the story is a far cry from the one on my old Apple.
Victoria is an apple-growing area. They have every right to use an apple logo. And they too have the right to protect it.
>> This is just more window-fanboys fud
This is just more Apple-fanboys fud . - coachmcguirk, on 10/07/2008, -6/+72I guess I can see the similarity... but honestly.. who cares?
- wunksta, on 10/07/2008, -22/+85"OMG WE OWNZ ALL APLE IMG! BAWWWW"
***** you apple, ***** you - filter321, on 10/07/2008, -2/+58"They have spent a lot of time and effort to turn the Apple into a much loved world cultural icon" . I know man, whenever i see an apple i cant help but thinking all these good men spending all that effort. makes me cry...
- surferjoemaui, on 10/07/2008, -1/+49I agree. Maybe another wave of banned users is in order.
- FreakyT, on 10/07/2008, -7/+50Could Apple be any more evil?
- cooltom2006, on 10/07/2008, -11/+52So what...It's an apple...That look's completely different from the Apple logo...Is no-one allowed to use an apple shape in their logo? I hope Apple looses the case!
- incandescent, on 10/07/2008, -4/+41Buried for being a fanboy.
- Vikaas, on 10/07/2008, -0/+35I call oranges!
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -8/+38Apple is evil.
- PinkFloydFan, on 10/07/2008, -2/+32http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_C ...
'Nuff said. - FireandFlame, on 10/07/2008, -2/+29Breaking News: God Sues Apple Computer inc, for using a logo which is taken straight from one of his creations.
- InJectaH, on 10/07/2008, -2/+29There's no bite marks in the VSBT Logo
- plainOldFool, on 10/07/2008, -1/+27Banana Phone
- freezerburn666, on 10/07/2008, -11/+34oh ***** off apple, just ***** off, your going to be dead and gone soon after your latest fad dies.
- chriswastaken, on 10/27/2009, -9/+32I wonder if the Art Director was sitting at a Mac trying to figure out what to make the logo. . . .
How about . . an apple?!
BRILLIANT! - Asianwaste, on 10/07/2008, -1/+23"This is just more window-fanboys fud that keeps on appearing more and more often... FAIL!"
Oh the irony. This is like a turd complaining about how much ***** stinks. - alostreflection, on 10/07/2008, -3/+24LOSE!!! not Loose! How do so many people misspell this?
- xptoast, on 10/07/2008, -0/+20...if you were a idiot.
- lynx44, on 10/07/2008, -0/+20No I'll sue, that's too similar to my circle logo.
- valleyman86, on 10/07/2008, -2/+20Does the apple logo have a bite taken out and there's no text inside it. Its also a different color. A school usually has teachers which is a well known fact that apples are a stereotypical thing for them. So using an apple for a schools logo makes sense. I have this huge doubt that when they made the logo someone said "Go for an apple because holy ***** Apple uses it!". I would have never saw that logo and thought of Apple computers. ***** Apple!
- e68895f, on 10/07/2008, -4/+22Oh, please. That's like comparing apples to ... um.. apples...
- Asianwaste, on 10/07/2008, -2/+20Steve Jobs can copyright EVERYTHING!!!!
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -2/+19I hope Apple loses millions on this case.
- billbugger, on 10/07/2008, -0/+17I'd call myself an apple fanboy, but this is too far.
- BlueScreenOD, on 10/07/2008, -2/+19Are you kidding? It's a ***** apple; they literally grow on trees. I'm just going to go around trademarking random pieces of produce and sue everyone that uses it in their logo.
- SambekZX, on 10/07/2008, -6/+22The threat of confusion is not necessary for some types of trademark litigation. Apple is probably basing their claim on a doctrine called trademark dilution, which basically prevents your trademark from being associated with a non-competing class of goods/services. If you let things like this slide then people will cash in on your reputation to sell anything. People will see the apple mark and think, "Ah, Apple, don't they sell toilet paper?" Then, the mark will lose the distinctiveness that the company has tried hard to maintain over a long period of time in the area of computers. That's the theory anyway.
- cldnails, on 10/07/2008, -4/+20It's a freaking apple, how else is an apple supposed to look? Christ, before too long I won't be able to take a ***** without some corporation claiming it looks like their logo.
- Asianwaste, on 10/07/2008, -0/+16Better change your icon. You might get sued.
- SkankingOtaku, on 10/07/2008, -7/+22Although the logo isn't very similar, a corporation pretty much has to take action when a logo is even remotely similar. We at Penn State had to sue many smaller schools because of their logo use, even when it was just an elementary school. If you don't take action for every occurrence, you can run into a problem. The company has to protect it's image.
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -2/+17All your apples are belong to us?
- Coffeedemon, on 10/07/2008, -0/+15Only if they are visually impaired. The big VSBT is a bit of a giveaway.
- gravityboard, on 10/07/2008, -6/+20But if you own a trademark/copyright and you don't actively protect it legally when it's infringed upon don't you lose the right to it? Apple might not WANT to sue but is forced to because of U.S. copyright law...
- inyearstocome, on 10/07/2008, -3/+16I hope Apple looses the case = I hope the school tightens the case?
- secrity, on 10/07/2008, -0/+12The association of an apple and a school teacher has much more history that any association between an apple and a computer.
- aliguana, on 10/07/2008, -3/+15What's next? I have an Apple Tree in my garden. Are we going to see Apple taking action against Granny Smith?
Will supermarket commercials of the future go: "fresh juicy Golden Delicious Apples (the Apple, its name and likeness are © Apple Computer) only $1.99!". Jeebus - ZeeZee2k, on 10/07/2008, -1/+13New York should sue apple.
- Asianwaste, on 10/07/2008, -0/+11Was going to say the same thing. It's amazing how Apple forgot its own history.
- NonLeftistDiggr, on 10/07/2008, -2/+13wow, talk about biting the hand that feeds you. If it weren't for public school I wouldn't have touched a MAC in nearly 15 years when my family finally gave up on them..
- Asianwaste, on 10/07/2008, -2/+12/sacrasm??? I hope???
- Atomic05, on 10/07/2008, -0/+10ring ring, ring ring, ring ring ring, banana ph-
Argh! Damn you! - secrity, on 10/07/2008, -5/+15And needlessly costing the school a large sum of money to either fight the suit or to design a new logo.
- Alli3388, on 10/07/2008, -2/+12Apparently, no one can ever use a graphic of an apple, period???? The only thing that makes those logos similar is that they are both apples. What *****!
- Ebue1, on 10/07/2008, -2/+11It's a school Apple, come on.
- steelystan, on 10/07/2008, -1/+10Ok Garry, well I'm going to sue you because I have an A in my name also and you having it in your name devalues my name.
I'm also willing to bet that the "Apple Community" (or whatever that is) doesn't like this action.
So who FAILS here? You and Apple. - inactive, on 10/07/2008, -2/+11I wish apple would sue Playskool for making toys with "on/off" buttons, huge 5 inch icon-like keys, and the sleek design of looking like a toy.
Only Apple can do that. It's what they do best. -
