Prepear Changes Pear Logo to Settle Trademark Dispute With Apple

[Amazing Iceman]

In this particular case, they also got a ton of free publicity, so maybe they’ll be better in the end. But makes you think about how many times giant companies pull off crap like this going unnoticed.

I remember Microsoft’s lawsuit to Lindows over the Windows vs Lindows dilemma. That may have been a closer call, but Pear vs Apple? Ridiculous!

That is not at all how the law works. First, not every jurisdiction is based on precedent (some are based on the napoleonic system). Second, precedent only applies in certain situations. The ruling of the trademark office does not set precedent for a court. The ruling of one court does not set precedent for another court except under certain situations (superior court in the same jurisdiction, sister courts in same circuit, etc).

If you are going to make statements that are amenable to fact-checking, I suggest you learn about the topics first.

I’m not talking about rulings setting precedent but if you care enough to fact check, you know more than I do.

Disgusting. Apple making this small company bend to their will. F&#K apple. POS company.

If the trademark office didn’t think that apple’s opposition had merit, they wouldn’t have had to beg apple to drop the opposition. Still not bullying. apple literally filed a form. They didn’t sue. They didn’t demand money. They didn’t leave nasty phone messages. They simply submitted a form and were prepared to abide by whatever the trademark office decided. They aren’t even involved after the point where they file the form - it’s up to the trademark office and prepear to work it out.

If you think that’s bullying, you must find the world a horribly scary place.

You need to stop drinking this...

this is exactly the sort of thing one posts when one has no argument based on facts or logic.

No, it's the kind of post when you are making a valid point with an apple kool aid drinker who does not see the total absurdity in their pursuing this entire legal claim. WHICH BTW you say is not a legal action.

Is Kool Aid an American thing? No idea what the meaning of it is and never even seen it for sale or why it’s bad?
