houbou's Journal: Apple's threats of a lawsuit over BC School Logo

Ok, I think Apple is truly and I mean, TRULY overstepping their bounds. A BC School is being threatened of getting sued by Apple, because their logo is an apple. Well, it's an apple yes, but it also has a mountain in it and it's blue and green and well, really, when push comes to shove, it's nothing like the Apple logo. It's not even bitten, like the Official Apple logo.

You can see the logo and read more about this in the following links:

• Will Apple's suit against B.C. school bear fruit?
• Canadian school in Apple logo row
• No apple for Vancouver Island school, says computer corporation
• Victoria school forced to change apple logo
• Vancouver school is the Apple of Steve Jobs's lawyer's eye

What I'm afraid of is the precedent this can set, should a lawsuit be filed and should Apple (the company) win. This would mean that every one who somehow is related to the apple industry (the fruit), can get sued if they use an apple logo.

For example, there is a medical group in Ottawa, called the Appletree Medical Group. They use an apple as their logo. Will they get sued too?

In a perverted way, I truly hope Apple (the company) brings this issue to a trial and that Apple (the company) loses and gets punitive damages of such cost that it will make their stockholders have nightmares for the next 10 yrs.
