Apple to NYC's Green Logo: No No No

Via MacObserver.com -

Apple Inc. is not at all sanguine about New York City's efforts to go green, at least when it comes to the logo the city is trying to trademark. Cupertino, CA-based Apple Inc. has filed a challenge against a federal trademark registration effort by GreeNYC, saying the logo (see below) the nonprofit is trying to trademark is too similar to Apple's own logo, which has been in use since 1977.

The International Business Times reported that GreeNYC's position is that the infinity apple symbol and the group's environmental approach were unique, a key word in the area of registered trademarks, and that there was no infringement.

This is clearly a overreaching lawsuit. Then again, this is the company that suits bloggers...
