近年来,苹果已经在许多企业家和小企业申请或者试图商标名称与“苹果”这个词,或标识显示水果。

从2019年到2021年,苹果,世界上最有价值的上市公司,价值2.6万亿美元,215年提出商标异议捍卫自己的标志,名称或产品名称。这比136年提交的对立微软Facebook和谷歌,亚马逊,集体在同一时期。

实体之间的目标是那些与技术无关,是无穷小的大小,或涉及其他水果,如橘子和梨。一个独立的创作歌手收到通知;印度食品博客停;就像威斯康辛州的公立学校区,我们;路边小启动名为柑橘;和膳食计划启动应用程序使用一个梨的标志。

Josh Rosenstock苹果公司一位发言人说,法律行动是公司最后的手段。“当我们看到过于广泛的应用程序或可以迷惑我们的客户,我们的第一步总是友好地伸出和迅速解决这些,”他说。

但这次竞选“欺负”,克里斯汀·法利说,美国大学的华盛顿大学法学院教授,并补充说他们中的大多数并不需要保护公众免受混乱。

许多实体被苹果公司表示,他们的目标就没有资源来对抗公司的前面商标的审判和上诉委员会。127年,实体(59%)没有回复记者的挑战和违约,而37实体(17%)撤回了他们的应用程序。

时代变化
然而,该公司并不总是如此打官司。在2000年之前,提交只是少数商标异议,在1989年达到9。随着苹果的增长,其法律团队,寻求防止品牌的稀释,挑战商标应用程序创建一个模板。

这可能涉及到商标审理和上诉委员会要求扩展文件与一个新的商标,然后直接联系申请人。Lacye布朗,38岁,来自亚特兰大的一位艺术家创造了一个卡通的一个虚构的巫医名为“苹果博士”,说这是“毁灭性”当苹果要求更多的时间来挑战她的应用程序。她缩小与苹果公司的律师讨论商标的请求后,从不提起一位官员反对。“不可能与苹果公司有人联系我,”她说。

创作歌手斯蒂芬妮Carlisi试图使用艺名Franki菠萝,但是苹果反对,说一个苹果和菠萝”这两个名字的水果,因此传达类似的商业的印象”。“这甚至不是一个苹果”,Carlisi说。

然而,与其他人不同的是,她接受了挑战。Carlisi在法庭上做出了让步,迫使该公司停止追求反对她是否包括一个免责声明,“Franki菠萝”并不是她的真名。虽然花了她10000美元,Carlisi得到灵感。她的首张单曲,关于坚持和使用一个众所周知的脏话,灵感来源于她的战斗。
