In rather startling news, a fruit has begun legal proceedings against a rainforest, over the latter's alleged trademark infringement over the use of a word describing the sale of mobile applications in a, kind of, store.
Even more amazingly, the fruit had this to say about the rainforest's infringement; "(rainforest) has unlawfully used the App Store mark to solicit software developers throughout the United States"
The fruit has the rights to the trademark in the US, and is claiming it could lead to confusion for end users, but with a legal challenge on the legitimacy of the mark from a leading purveyor of tiny software, this could lead to the rainforest taking a bite out of the fruit's ownership of the term.
The rainforest refused to comment about the legal challenge.
