Who’s Apple Is It?

appleA little green apple and a little cartoon apple with a bite out of it are the reason for a large battle between Apple Corps Ltd and Apple computer.

A settlement was made 15 years ago when the two companies agreed not to tread on the other’s area of business. But recently, Apple Corps, a company created by the Beatles in 1968, placed a lawsuit on Apple Computers because they believe the settlement agreement was broken. With the introduction of the iPod and iTunes Music Store the computer company used their logo. Apple Corp believes that the computer company is walking in their territory when they got involved with music. Apple Computers says, “… that the agreement allows it to use the logo on the products because it does not own the rights to the music, but simply the digital technology to distribute it.”

The High Court judge, Edward Mann says that he wonÂ’t have a ruling until after Easter.
