Apple Files Trademark for the Beatles' Apple Logo

Apple has filed two trademarks to register the apple logos once used by Beatles as their own, according to Patently Apple.

Apple Corps had won two previous trademark infringement cases against Apple Inc. in the years 1981 and 1991 respectfully. Their third case against Apple Inc., which was filed in 2003, ended up in a legal settlement in 2007. In that settlement, Apple Corps sadly lost their legal rights to their famed Granny Smith Apple Logos to Apple Inc. Sometimes, the spoils of legal wars are painful. On a happier note however, the Beatles music was finally brought to iTunes on November 16, 2010. To ensure final ownership of the famed Apple logos, Apple Inc. has filed a pair of trademark applications with the European Trademarks Office under 14 International Classifications covering such matters as computer hardware, online social networking services, mobile phones, musical instruments, games, clothing/headgear, advertising, education and broadcasting.
