Who Owns The Word Apple?

In a perfect world, nobody.

But I guess we don’t live in a perfect world.

Apple is a word.

It describes a fruit that has allegedly been around since adam and eve’s time, assuming there were people called adam and eve.

It also is the name of a computer company.

And its the name of the company that is owned by Beatles Paul McCartney, Ringo
Starr, John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono and the estate of George
Harrison and which owns the rights to the beatles’ music.

And whomever is making the decisions regarding the beatles’ rights to the name apple thinks they have to sue apple the computer company over trademark violations.

This is all so silly.

Because in my world, apple is a fruit.
