Apple takes legal action against meal planning service with a pear-shaped logo - 9to5Mac

The pear-shaped logo used by Prepear, seen above, is too similar the Apple logo.

According to the founders of Prepear, which is a spin-off of the Super Healthy Kids service, Apple is opposing the trademark application for Prepear and demanding that the company change the pear-shaped logo.

According to the founders, Apple “has opposed the trademark application for our small business, Prepear, demanding that we change our obviously pear shaped logo, used to represent our brand in the recipe management and meal planning business.”.

Prepear also points out that Apple has “opposed dozens of other trademark applications filed by small businesses with fruit related logos” and that many of these logos ended up being changed or abandoned.

“Most small businesses cannot afford the tens of thousands of dollars it would cost to fight Apple,” the Prepear founded say

Prepear says they “feel a moral obligation to take a stand against Apple’s aggressive legal action against small businesses and fight for the right to keep our logo

We are defending ourselves against Apple not only to keep our logo, but to send a message to big tech companies that bullying small businesses has consequences.”
