Apple takes action over Chinese trademark dispute

Apple is taking action against the trademark appraisal committee under China’s State Administration for Industry and Commerce over a trademark dispute with a Chinese clothing manufacturer, reports China Daily. According to the report, Guangdong Apples Industrial Co uses a logo (shown at left) very similar to Apple’s trademarked “apple with a bite out of it” logo. Apple “requested that the court affirm that the trademark of its apple logo is a famous one and approve its trademark application for clothing.” This request was denied in June of last year. “Although slightly different, the trademark logo of Guangdong Apples and the Apple Computer look very similar,” Duan Xiaomei, an official with the committee said.
