I'm all for defending your IP but this is ridiculous. That logo looks nothing like the Apple logo. I mean this is from China where they wouldn't give two squirt

  Recently, though, Fangguo had filed applications to extend its trademark to 16 different product categories, one of which includes "notebook computers" and "electronic-game software." In that light it's a bit more understandable. If they had stayed strictly in the food segment I doubt it would have been an issue. Trademarks have to be defended or they can be voided; companies tend to err on the side of caution.

    That makes a little more sense, but I still do not think that anyone would ever mistake Apple's "I look like an apple" logo for the Chinese company's "I don't look like anything but I have a leaf" logo. Their logo looks more like an old hand grenade.

      It's a "where do you draw the line" thing -- Apple has to demonstrate that, in their opinion, things are getting a little too close for comfort. LG should probably do the same. Neither, I don't think, would be launching an action with the expectation of winning (necessarily), but having a filed grievance on record for something at this level would certainly help in a case where the offending logo were a little closer to theirs.
