Maybe The Beatles should sue, too…
They are stupid.
They have waaaay too much time on their hands................
Everything apple existed before this company.
They are not the origins of the apple.
Obviously he did it so that we'd think of the company whenever we used the common noun apple. But it works both ways when someone else wants to use the same word in comedic way. It's not like Apple has a trademark on the word "apple".
Sir Isaac Newton is triggered!
I’m looking forward to the sequel...
Pear Woman
Eve’s descendants should sue apple,,,,,
I think very few people will associate a superhero levitating an apple with a smartphone company. I don’t see the lawsuit prevailing but who knows?
I’m afraid that Chinese slave-mongering company might be confused with my favorite fruit.
Not Apple Man, Just Some Crazy Fruit Guy.......
I won’t take them seriously until they sue the originator of the expression “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
I think the rest of the world should sue Apple because they commandeered the name of a common fruit.
Welcome to the wonderful world of American trademark law. If you do not “vigorously defend” your trademark you lose it. Which means you have to file a lot of stupid lawsuits and ceases to have a judge say “that’s not a trademark violation”. Cause if you don’t when somebody DOES violate your trademark you could wind up with a judge saying “you’ve allowed a lot of trademark violations in the past, too bad on this one”.
Honestly the filmmakers should have seen this coming and sought permission. Save everybody trouble.
This will fail. Apple is a generic name even though is is trademarked. Won’t hold up in court.
Unless there is more to this story than it seems, this is one of the dumbest things ever - but it has competition. there was an article posted here yesterday about a lawsuit over companies battling it out over what could be called “Mexican food”
I lve my Appple hardware, and always have...all the way back to my Original Edition Apple IIgs which still operates well. Their politics have always been ****, however.
People say, “Well, swtich then.” To what? A vaccine funder running on Gate’s stolen legacy? Might as well buy some POS Lenovo laptop that’ll die in a year and feed my data to the CCP.
I’ll wait for the once-a-year deluge of Linux users to bleat forth their fanboy status. I need a good chuckle.
Next cook will sue the phrase “one bad apple...” He suggested renaming the film “Microsoft Man”.
