Apple sues small food company over its pear logo
I’m not trying to get anyone to stop using or buying Apple products. I feel a moral obligation to take a stand against Apple’s aggressive legal action against small businesses and fight for the right to keep our logo. We are defending ourselves against Apple not only to keep our logo, but to send a message to big tech companies that bullying small businesses has consequences.”
So Prepear has created a petition on the Change.org site. Posted by Russell Monson, the Co-founder and COO of Super Healthy Kids/Prepear, the petition reveals that the company has already had to lay off one employee because of what it calls Apple’s “frivolous litigation.” Prepear is a small company anyway with only five team members and notes that “It is a very terrifying experience to be legally attacked by one of the largest companies in the world, even when we have clearly done nothing wrong, and we understand why most companies just give in and change their logos. We feel a moral obligation to take a stand against Apple’s aggressive legal action against small businesses and fight for the right to keep our logo. We are defending ourselves against Apple not only to keep our logo, but to send a message to big tech companies that bullying small businesses has consequences.”
Can you tell the difference between an apple and a pear, or do you believe that Apple has a valid argument?
