Holy shit this is literally exactly like when those 2 jewish brothers on youtube tried to copyright/monopolize the word "React"

how the fuck does this stuff even happen? There have to be at least a dozen people within Apple who have to approve this litigation, and not a single one of them looked at this when it came across their desk and said "Guys this is fucking retarded."?
Kevin Jenkins
It happens because companies will trademark a name for a certain purpose (like 'Apple' for the purposes of music) and then defend that trademark like an insane person because their lawyers have nothing better to do. Billable hours are billable hours.

Don’t they also have to, at least in less retarded cases? I thought you’ll effectively lose a trademark if you don’t sue notable infringements

But did the case go anywhere? You can sue for all sorts on nonsense.

Its apple, they will make sure it gets somewhere even if they get laughed out the courtroom

Companies do this shit constantly. People just usually quietly comply because they don't want a circus and can't afford to fight it. Vogue magazine recently targeted a small village pub in the UK that had 'vogue' in its name, claiming it was interfering with their business. They dropped it eventually because the landlord went to the media about it and it blew up.
Jordan Martinez
She won apparently, just look up the article lol

Better hope you live in a state where you can sue for the cost of defending your case.
Oliver Price
It's a quirk of trademark law. Apple doesn't expect to win any of these suits, the only reason they file them is that if they don't, someone could claim 'constructive abandonment' of their trademark. In the US if you don't sue people over your trademark at every opportunity then it can be taken as evidence that you don't want to own it any more.
It's fucking retarded, but the lawyers make good money out of pretending there's no alternative.
Jace Kelly
trademark. trademark the word "react". learn what trademarks are, you won't believe how many words are trademarked, chances are you just used a few

Everyone in america should have been sued centuries ago when they decided to call ananas a fucking "pineapple"
