I think Apple will win and hopefully send the idiots a jar of AppleSauce...

The iTunes Music Store is really huge success generating lots of revenue.
And Apple Corps would like to have a slice of the cake.
I too think that Apple Corps has no right to sue Apple Computer again, but that's what the courts have to decide.
We'll see.

And just consider it part of the cost of doing business.

It acutally would.
But Yoko Ono would NEVER allow that to happen.

In 1969-1970 I worked freelance for a furniture/electronics design firm doing illustrations for boards that were used by salesmen for prospective customers.
One of the companies I did drawings for was the McIntosh company which produced audio equipment. They were thinking of starting a line of home entertainment console centers and I made 24 scale drawings for their salesmen. I don't believe the items were ever made or sold on the market. I'm still researching that part. But I made enough money from that assignment to buy my first car.
Anyway, I did come up with this from a history of the McIntosh company:
1983
QUOTE
McIntosh enters into a license agreement with the Apple Computer Company. The agreement is for 10 years and allows Apple Computer to use the Macintosh name in connection with computer production. There is a fee paid by Apple at the beginning of the agreement. Although the spelling is not the same, it sounds the same when it was spoken.
The following statement appears on the label in the back of the Macintosh Plus 1Mb computer.
Apple and the Apple logo are registered trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc. Macintosh is a trademark of McIntosh Laboratory, Inc. and is being used with express permission of its owner.

From this page.
I found it quite odd that I worked for McIntosh long before ever seeing or using a Mac.

I didn't know that. But I just checked and it's true!

A kind of anarchy.

“My primary role in this matter was to create the Macintosh project. I named it for my favorite kind of eatin' apple, the succulent McIntosh (I changed the spelling of the name to avoid potential conflict with McIntosh, the audio equipment manufacturer). There have been, as Horn points out, many inaccurate recountings of the early Mac history. The best I've seen (they guy did some heavy-duty research) is Owen Linzmeyer's "The Mac Bathroom Reader". My own history of the Mac (entitled "The Mac and Me") is currently being serialized in the Computer Historical Association of California's journal.”

Glen Cole asks if my attempt to avoid trademark conflict wiht McIntosh audio equipment by spelling the computer "Macintosh" were successful. He correctly remembers that it was not. Apple even had to pay the raincoat manufacturer for use of the name, I have no idea why. Glen also asks how I feel about the nickname "Mac" for the product. Fine, we used it from the very beginning.
Funny, I had wondered about the raincoat name as well.
Looks like everyone got into the act.
You know, makes me think that Apple should go after McDonalds for using the term Mac.

Honestly though...don't the Beatles and their heirs have ENOUGH money? This is ridiculous. McCartney was the 29th wealthiest person in Britain last year, with a personal fortune of over 700M pounds (that's over $1,600,000,000.00). Yoko has a similar fortune...
So much for "I don't care too much for money"!!!
