Apple and Prepear Negotiating a Settlement Over Disputed Pear Logo Trademark

Back in August, Apple made headlines for its efforts to oppose a trademark application by the creators of the recipe and meal-planning app Prepear, with Apple objecting to the proposed Prepear logo trademark based on claimed similarity to Apple s own logo.
Despite the fact that Prepear s logo depicts an outline of a pear, Apple claimed in its filing that Prepear s logo consists of a minimalistic fruit design with a right-angled leaf, which readily calls to mind Apple s famous Apple Logo and creates a similar commercial impression.
