2) That said, one of the keys to trademark is being in the same industry, such that the public might get confused.
Apple Computer striking a deal with Apple Records, once the former started to sell music, is a good example. Prior to that, there was no (legal or market) overlap of the two.
- daveevad 5y agoOne thing I noticed during the Get Back Beatles Documentary recently released, is that Apple Records was a subsidiary of Apple Corps. The Beatles' Apple had much bolder ambitions than I had realized. In the film, they discussed movies and performances under the Apple umbrella. John Lennon himself described it as: "we've got this thing called 'Apple' which is going to be records, films, and electronics – which all tie up."

Note that this is generally true for trademark law, but there are things like the ICANN/WIPO UDRP that can be used to expropriate domain names that have somewhat of a different standard.
