Re: Tick Different?
I'd expect Swatch to win this.
In related news, 'MacDonald's" have trademarked every word in the English language, with Mac prefixed. Well, actually only some of them.
They seem to forget that the Mac in MacDonald, is the Cetlic "mac" meaning son of. It's as stupid as trying to own every word prefixed with "i", or it would be like if Ericsson added -sson to every word and trademarked it.
Apple and MacDonalds illustrate the worst features of American corporate arrogance and cultural imperialism. They need to sell on merit and price, not bullying.
Maybe The owners of the golden arches will sue Apple over MacOS.
I'm reminded that Apple founders pinched their name and logo from Apple Corp, due to being Beatles fans. They agreed, when sued never to use Apple in conjunction with music, then later created iTunes. So they got sued again.
