Founder Company initiated a petition. Apple believes that the logo of a startup company consists of a simple design of fruit, which makes it easy to distinguish Apple from a startup company and cause confusion. And it will make some consumers think that startups are related to Apple. For Apple's lawsuit against the startup, the founder of the startup initiated a petition. He wrote that the company he founded was a small enterprise with only five employees and could not afford Apple's lawsuit against the company. So far, the petition initiated by this startup company has collected more than 1000 signatures.
The company posted on the Internet that he didn't want people to boycott Apple, but wanted to stick to the company's position. Many netizens commented on the Internet that this icon does not remind people of Apple, but that Apple is making a fuss. Most netizens think that the logo of the founding company is not similar to Apple and does not constitute infringement. Many netizens on the Internet do not recognize Apple's practice of suing fruit trademarks. After all, there are too many fruit trademarks. The Sydney logo of the startup is just one of them. Some netizens also asked whether all fruit trademarks with leaves can't be used in the future, or whether eating an apple in the future will be sued by Apple.
This is not the first time Apple has taken similar actions. At one time, Apple even opposed the bicycle lane sign in Germany, claiming that the design was similar to Apple's logo. Every enterprise will set a unique logo for its own brand, so that people can think of their own brand as soon as they see this logo. But there are too many companies in the world, so sometimes there are inevitably many similarities and conflicts.
