Apple has sued others for trademark infringement many times. In some cases, the logo of the company being sued may bear some resemblance to a bitten apple, but in some cases there is no correlation at all.

For example, Prepear’s application icon this time is taken from a pear shape. Apple believes that the icon is too similar to its company logo. Therefore, Prepear was sued on the grounds that it had damaged the uniqueness of Apple's trademark, and claimed that the company's trademark violated the Lannar Act.

It is understood that Prepear is an application developed by a small application developer with only 5 people. It can help users and consumers discover recipes, arrange supermarket delivery, etc. The founder of the company also stated through social platforms that he was facing a lawsuit from Apple. was asked to change this pear-shaped logo. After the incident occurred, the small company emphasized that it was forced to lay off one person due to economic pressure due to the legal lawsuit with Apple.

The company believes it has an ethical obligation to fight Apple's unreasonable legal actions. Dozens of small companies have been sued by Apple over trademarks before. Unable to afford the economic costs of litigation, they could only modify their trademarks or abandon their original trademarks. Previously, Apple sent a lawyer's letter to a food factory in Sichuan Province, claiming that the trademark they applied for was similar to Apple's logo and was suspected of infringement. In the same year, Apple also appealed to the Patent Office, believing that the Apple Baby logo in a German cafe was suspected of infringement and requested to stop using it.

Prepear launched a petition on the petition website to seek support from netizens in the hope of persuading Apple to drop the lawsuit. Nearly 19,965 signatures have been obtained so far.

There is no doubt that Apple is unreasonable in this incident. Just because Apple uses apples, other companies cannot even use fruits. This is hegemonic. The unreasonable abuse of power to suppress small businesses should stop as soon as possible.
