treehugger.com — Apple claims that the GreeNYC mark is "likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception in the minds of consumers."..."Any defect, objection or fault found with [GreeNYC's] goods and services marketed under [GreeNYC's] marks would necessarily reflect upon and seriously injure the reputation which [Apple] has established for its goods and services."

I agree with the quote below. It's not JUST a trademark. Apple, Inc.'s trademark has become one of the most valuable in the world. Only a fool wouldn't bother to defend it - which is the normal response anyway."We'd say it's pretty obvious that Apple's got an interest in other apple-shaped trademarks, so it's not particularly surprising that it's taking the first available opportunity to speak up about this one."

They are completely different logos in completely different industries. That's like suing a grocery store for having a sale on apples and putting up a sign to advertise them.

So now no one can have logos with an apple?

Do you guys even read the articles? Apple is NOT suing anyone. It's a standard trademark opposition filing.
