> nothing should be named Apple
- ncmncm 5y agoFunny choice, considering the amount of litigation over that name. Unless you were serious. When Apple started, they were sued by Apple Records, the Beatles' label, and settled with a pledge to never have any activity involving music distribution. Come iPod, they turned around and sued Apple Records.
- veltas 5y agoIt's a good example, you can have recognisable trademarks be common words. The trademark is restricted to particular contexts, of course -- you cannot trademark 'apple' in general.
- ncmncm 5y agoIt is foolish to choose a name that Google prefers to direct people to 143,000 unrelated other pages.
