Saying they both have a "right angled leaf" without noting the obviously very different shape and position of the leaf is...oof.
The logo is no more similar to Apple's than Raspberry PI's logo.
In fact, while I don't think myself it is similar, Apple has more of a reason to go after the maker of Cherry keyboards.

My thoughts exactly.
Even with 30 million RPi's sold by late 2019, I'd be surprised if there was a single case of someone plausibly having bought it under the mistaken belief it was an Apple product.
Consumers are by no means prefect but they simply aren't as stupid as Apple's case implies!
But even then I can't imagine Apple is serious about this. Completely different business, style, form and brand names.
It is almost an insult to customers that could mistakenly take the pear logo for an Apple product.
