Apple wants to claim depictions of actual apples.
A few years ago I tried to register a domain name which included the word “purple”. I was told I couldn’t because HP had trademarked the word “purple” so it was off the list of registerable words. I pointed out that my domain was in no way related to their purple laptops and I was told tough, no-one could for any reason register any domain which included the word “purple” because HP now owned the dictionary word “purple”.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
