Re:Apple could force a 111-year-old fruit company to change ... by mattmaroon on Wednesday June 21, 2023 @02:29PM (#36422391)
American courts definitely would not. Apple itself got away with being named after Apple Corps (the Beatles’ licensing arm) until they got into music.

Also in the US we have first use, which is similar to how prior art works in patents. If Apple started selling apples, they’d be the ones at risk of losing a lawsuit.
