Last but not least: Apple child vs. Apple's apple
The logo of a German café is causing red heads at Apple: it looks "highly similar" to its own logo, according to the accusation.
The symbol of the "Apfelkind" store shows a red apple with the silhouette of a girl. According to the US company, there is a "clear risk of confusion". There are fears that Apple's "distinctiveness and esteem" could suffer as a result. However, the creator of the logo denies having copied Apple's design. Rather, she was inspired by the apple orchard of her landlords.
At least the giant's questionable fight against the small café seems to be having a positive effect on it: she receives emails from all over the world, says the owner in an interview with Horizon.net. Many people would offer their help or ask about a franchise model. Her store has become more interesting since the matter became known, and her cups in particular are being bought more.
An apple looks the way an apple looks. Even with Thurgau Tourism it looks similar to Apple's - almost a little more similar. The only thing missing is the bitten-out piece. As I said - an apple is just an apple is just an apple.
