You may have seen the recent newspaper story about Apple Inc opposing the new Woolworths logo (pictured).
Currently Apple has 13 trade mark oppositions on foot in Australia.
Some of these look like obvious attempts to hop onto Apple’s iPod and iPhone bandwagon. Even before the trainwreck of iSnack 2.0 (which thankfully Kraft have decided to change).
There’s the dopi logo (pictured), which covers computer and MP3 accessories. If you didn’t notice, dopi is just ipod in reverse.
Apple is also opposing iMove, Octopod and Versapod.
Then there are the apple logo marks (pictured), like Poison Apple (music festivals) and the Adults Only logo (Foxtel cable channel).
But I think they may have gone too far with opposing an application for Pineapple (entertainment services). Even though the word ‘apple’ is included!
What do you think is fair and reasonable for Apple to own? Where do we draw the boundary for i-, -pod, and apple marks?
