on Tuesday said it settled the issue by changing the shape of a leaf in its logo. <br /><br /><div style="margin: auto;"><img src="https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/40237-77418-210209-Prepear-l.jpg" alt="Prepear" height="368" /><br /><span></span></div><br /><br />Company co-founder and COO Russ Monson in a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/news/prepear-settles-trademark-dispute-with-apple-revises-logo-pics/">statement</a> to <em>iPhone in Canada</em> said it had "amicably resolved its trademark issue with Apple." Monson said the company will "make a small change to our logo in the coming weeks," adding that Prepear is "happy" with the settlement terms. <br /><br />The remedy, it seems, is a slightly tweaked logo. Prepear has adjusted the shape of a leaf in its pear emblem to make it visually distinct from Apple's iconic mark. The developer will use the revised symbol in its logo and app icon. <br /><br />Apple first aired grievances over the app's logo when it <a rel="nofollow" href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/08/apple-objects-to-apps-pear-logo-trademark-application">formally objected</a> to a trademark application from meal planning firm Super Healthy Kids last August. The mark is a simple outline of a pear with a singular almond-shaped leaf. Apple argued the design too closely resembled its "famous Apple Logo" and "creates a similar commercial impression."<br /><br />Prepear later accused Apple of engaging in "bullying" tactics that cost the company "many thousands of dollars" and resulted in the layoff of at least one employee. Monson appealed to the public with a petition to "save the pear" and "end Apple's aggressive opposition of businesses with fruit logos."<br /><br />"Apple has been opposing small businesses with fruit-related logos by starting expensive legal action even when those logos don't look anything like Apple's logo, or aren't in the same line of business as Apple at all," the petition read.<br /><br />In December, Apple and Prepear <a rel="nofollow" href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/12/30/apple-prepear-enter-settlement-negotiations-over-fruit-logo-trademark">entered settlement</a>

The leaf shape, while generic and very pure in a geometric sense (just like Apple's, and yes, you might argue that those shouldn't be accepted in the first place as intellectual property because of prior art and for being too generic, but context here is key) was waaaaaaaay too similar in proportion and orientation (it was just mirrored). If you look at AI's original coverage of the lawsuit, you can definitely see it: <a href="https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/news/apple-legal-action-pear-logo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/news/apple-legal-action-pear-logo/</a><br /><br />Sure, Apple was a bit overzealous about it, but that's kind of par for the course for a billion-dollar company. If it was resolved amicably, that kind of lays the “bullying” angle to rest, now, doesn't it? The guys at Prepear were throwing a tantrum, IMHO. Especially considering how, yes, they are a tech company (if they were, say, some random agricultural business I could see how Apple might be overreaching to branches of business their own Nice classification codes likely don't even cover, except Prepear has… apps. In App Stores).<br /><br />No, really. What's more, I actually like the revised version better. The contrast between the more continuous contour of the pair and the leaf is starker, and the latter's half-circle shape not only pairs better with the tops and bottoms of the pear, but it also somewhat echoes the counter-shape (or the “eye”) of the lowercase “e” in their logo.<br /><br />TL;DR: Not only did they not lose an expensive lawsuit, Apple actually forced them to better their own design and, as someone else said, this actually brought them some publicity. Win-win, if you ask me. </div> <span class="CommentLastUpdated"> <span title="Edited February 10, 2021 8:50PM by mainyehc." class="DateUpdated">edited February 2021</span> </span><span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="132382" title="applguy - Like on February 10, 2021."><a title="applguy" href="/profile/132382/applguy" class="PhotoWrap PhotoWrapSmall"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=f436cb2784c5d4499b5b55bacf3f1361&amp;size=50&default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2Ff436cb2784c5d4499b5b55bacf3f1361.png" alt="applguy" class="ProfilePhoto ProfilePhotoSmall" /></a><span class="ReactSprite Reaction-1 ReactHeart2"></span></span><span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="188659" title="jony0 - Like on February 12, 2021."><a title="jony0" href="/profile/188659/jony0" class="PhotoWrap PhotoWrapSmall"><img src="https://forums.appleinsider.com/uploads/userpics/902/nPS370255UARC.JPG" alt="jony0" class="ProfilePhoto ProfilePhotoSmall" /></a><span class="ReactSprite Reaction-1 ReactHeart2"></span></span> <li class="Item ItemComment Role_member" id="Comment_3291991"> <div class="Comment"> <div class="Options"> <span class="PostNum">Reply 20 of 24</span> </div> <div class="Item-Header CommentHeader"> <div class="AuthorWrap"> <span class="Author"> <a title="gc_uk" href="/profile/236397/gc_uk" class="PhotoWrap"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=5fe262a16d67294bdee237eeef746cd7&amp;size=50&default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2F5fe262a16d67294bdee237eeef746cd7.png" alt="gc_uk" class="ProfilePhoto ProfilePhotoMedium" /></a><a href="/profile/236397/gc_uk" class="Username">gc_uk</a> </span> <span class="AuthorInfo"> <span class="MItem PostCount">Posts: <b>110</b></span><span class="MItem RoleTitle member">member</span> </span> </div> <div class="Meta CommentMeta CommentInfo"> <span class="MItem DateCreated"> <a href="/discussion/comment/3291991/#Comment_3291991" class="Permalink" name="Item_20" rel="nofollow"><time title="February 10, 2021 11:39PM" datetime="2021-02-10T23:39:25+00:00">February 10, 2021 11:39PM</time></a> </span> </div> </div> <div class="Item-BodyWrap"> <div class="Item-Body"> <div class="Message"> <blockquote class="Quote"> <div class="QuoteAuthor"><a rel="nofollow" href="/profile/188639/tstump">tstump</a> said:</div> <div class="QuoteText">Remember how Apple records,… The record label for the Beatles… Made Apple computer and litter Apple Inc. jump through hoops in the past before they finally settled?</div> </blockquote> Remember how Apple Inc agreed not to enter the music market to maintain a distinction, and then just did it anyway?
