And there's plenty of examples of computer-related companies and organizations with Pear and fruit-related names, what about [PearPC](http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/)? Their SourceForge website and GitHub page are up.
And this company is selling Apple logo parody MacBook stickers on Amazon - how is this also not infringing on their trademarks if we use the same standard? https://www.amazon.com/Sockeroos-Sticker-Partial-Macbook-Unibody/dp/B0151DQLTE https://www.amazon.com/Sockeroos-Sticker-Partial-Macbook-Uni... -
Colour Banana too (Banans are fruit!): https://colourbanana.com/ https://colourbanana.com/
It's too easy to find these just by googling right now - I want to know what Prepear did that attracted Apple's lawyer's attention...
- Apocryphon 6y agoParody is protected under fair use. Though those stickers don't seem very parodic.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoNitpick: Fair-use is a defense for claims of copyright infringement, not trademark use violations; but trademark law does have built-in exemptions for parody though ( https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2019/10/08/parody-under-the-trademark-laws https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2019/10/08/parody-unde... ) so your point still stands. However I would argue those stickers were parody.
