Apple Corps challenges Apple Computer

A court in the UK has ruled that Apple Computer's use of its trademark in connection with the iTunes Music Store does not infringe upon the trademark of the Beatles' Apple Corps. Details here.

Probably this isn't much of a surprise to either side. Lawsuits of this nature, which may seem pointless, actually serve the purpose of showing that Apple Corps consistently defends its trademark, and this may be very important down the line if Apple Corps ever seeks relief against genuine infringement.
