I bought an apple from the market and I ate it. The apple is digested and assimilated into parts of me, can I sue Apple for using Apple for its name now?

Apple can get bent, i'm sick of them claiming ownership of fresh air and sunshine and it's stime someone told them to get f##ked.

Screw Apple. Shoddy products, lots of hype.

 

[AIstudio]

Apple = Corporate Greed

 

[Onus]

That's like someone trying to trademark "Drug Store" or "Grocery Store." Some idiot lawyer(s) at Apple need to be disbarred.

So, Apple does not even have a trademark for App Store? Amazon was right, as well?
Great! They don't even have a right to issue those C&D letters, so they can take them back and shove them 'where sun don't shine.'

Lol, way to go, GetJar! Good to see everyone telling FU to Apple...

 

[Userremoved]

A judge needs to tell to Apple that they don't own the name app store (application store).

I guess it must be about time to go buy something from mah local Apple store to show my support.

 

[sunflier]

Apple is rotten to the core!

Lawyer 1 to Lawyer 2: "Hey! I'll sue your company if you sue mine!"
Lawyer 2 to Lawyer 1: "Cool! Now both of our salaries are justified! I love job security."
Lawyers join arms and sing :

"We're off to file lawsuits, colluding to all keep our jobs
It does not help our companies
It's our customers who get robbed
But if ever a wonderful office there was
The Patent Office is one because
(because because because because becaaaaause)
Because of the terrible job it does
We're off to file lawsuits
Colluding to keep all our jobs!"

if so why Apple don't change theirs? they was actualy the later to use the name.

 

[pepe2907]

Actualy I think somebody should begin to sue these bogus Cease&Desist letter senders for misuse of the legal system

Apples App Store = Apple Store ??
Anybody else's App Store = Application Store

just a thought

Let's hope Apple will copyright the name of the fruit so no one can use it. "Hey honey, don;t forget to buy a pound of coloured roundish fruits for the pie and buy some coloured roundish fruits for the kids" ) Stupid Apple
