> People tend to not mix up pears with apples. People intentionally used an almost-identical logo as a knockoff of the Apple trademark, many years ago: https:/

  You know that this is from a TV show right not an actual product. They used a logo which is different enough to not be accidentally confused but similar enough so that people can guess what they are referring to. Also this log had the same orientation and roughly the same drawing style. If anything you could say that pears on computers due to movie and cinema have become a synonym for a "expensive high quality computer/phone/etc." and as such Apple pear tm would be diluted from the get to go if Apple would register it. There are also apple alike products using pears, they normally also don't try to trick you into buying their product by confusing it with Apple products but use the pear to communicate a that it's (supposedly) an thing with similar qualities as Apple but which is not Apple. There is a difference between a generalized logo which is the synonym for "something similar to an apple product but definitely not Apple" and "something similar enough to accidentally confuse it".

    A TV show where the awesome hot products were pear shaped iPear phones and tablets. Obviously satire.
