Apple Opposes Prepear's Pear Logo at U.S. Trademark Office

Apple claims the “minimalistic fruit design” of Prepear’s pear logo and its “right-angled leaf … readily calls to mind Apple’s famous Apple Logo and creates a similar commercial impression,” according to Apple’s notice of opposition before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, obtained by MacRumours. Prepear is a meal-planning app that lets users store and organise recipes and it relies on Apple’s mobile App Store to deliver its app.
