Apple made a number of IP rights authorities around the world: Report
India TV NewsApple, the tech giant is reportedly seeking intellectual property rights over depictions of apples, causing concern for the Fruit Union, the oldest and largest fruit farmers' organization in Switzerland. While some authorities reluctantly accepted the request of Apple Inc., the Fruit Union's concerns highlight the broader issue of companies fiercely competing for trademarks they don't necessarily need, driven by a thriving global IP rights industry. In 2017, Apple submitted an application to the Swiss Institute of Intellectual Property seeking IP rights for a realistic depiction of the Granny Smith apple. The situation highlights the complexities and controversies surrounding intellectual property rights, particularly when it comes to seemingly generic or universal symbols like the depiction of an apple.
