Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos
sams67 writes "Australian supermarket Woolworth is on the receiving end of an action from Apple over Woolworth's new logo. The green, highly stylized 'W' logo could at best be described as 'apple-like.' As outlined in the article, Apple is taking similar action in Australia against music festival promoter, Poison Apple, and pay TV provider Foxtel, over their fruit-related logos."
Apple should modify its logo to make it more unique. May I suggest splitting it into 6 horizontal stripes each with a different rainbow color.
Doesn't God have prior art?
He did, but he didn't show up for his court date.
looks absolutely nothing like the Apple Computer logo
Kinda... Think of when you try to find shapes in the clouds, it's almost the same. The difference this time is that you've got a cold sweat covered Steeve Jobs believing the logo is it's his own and casting black magic on everyone around to project the famous reality distorsion field. Then, actually, throught the field the logos look exactly just the same.
A hypocracy is what you get when you have a country/world ruled by hypocrites.
MATH FIGHT!!!
In Australia when plaintiff makes a false claim against another person they are legally permitted to sue the plaintiff under our woeful deformation laws.
I really really hope you mean defamation otherwise as an Australian let me say I'm very very scared right now.

I look at the Woolworth's logo and see an apple. I do not see an Apple apple.
It may be time-of-the-year related, but personally, I see a green pumpkin.
