Apple decided to take legal action against a company called Prepear in August 2020 because the company has a pear-shaped logo, which Apple says is very similar to its own logo – although Prepear has nothing to do with technology. Today, however, the two companies have come to an agreement and Apple will let Prepear use the fruit logo with a subtle change.
Prepear is a spin-off of the Super Healthy Kids service and offers healthy recipes and a digital grocery list through a mobile app. Apple objected to Prepear’s trademark because its logo is an outline of a pear with a leaf, which Apple believed to be a copy of its classic logo that can be found on billions of devices today. in the world.
A new request to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trials and Appeals Committee found that the two companies were negotiating a settlement, so the trial process was suspended for 30 days. As reported by The Verge, Apple finally let Prepear use the pear-shaped logo
New documents filed at the USPTO show that Apple has already consented to the settlement, which was later confirmed by Prepear co-founder Russ Monson. Monson told the report that the only request for logo approval was to change the drawn leaf.
The app’s website already has the new logo, and it will be added to other platforms in the coming weeks. Previously, a petition on Change.org asking Apple to “Save the Pear” had obtained nearly 270,000 signatures.
Apple has yet to discuss the decision.
