Those sensitive legal eagles at Apple are flapping into action once again again. This time they’re circling Australia’s Woolworths retail chain with a trademark issue.
Those sensitive legal eagles at Apple are flapping into action once again again. This time they’re circling Australia’s Woolworths retail chain with a trademark issue.
The Fairfax group reports Woolies insists its new logo is a green stylised ”W” or a piece of fresh produce. Apple reckons it’s an apple.
“Apple is spooked by the fact Woolworths has gone for a blanket trademark that would allow it to slap its branding and logo on every imaginable product,” the Age/Sydney Morning Herald says. “Woolworths’s application includes a wide class for electrical goods and technology, putting it in direct competition with Apple should the retailer choose to brand computers, music players or other devices.
“A Woolworths spokesman said: ‘While we can’t rule anything out, we haven’t got any plans at the moment.’.
