Strange how I've got beetles singles from the 60's on apple label but the high courts think they somehow managed to copy something that arrived 20 years later!

They've copied everything so why not the name?

Well that's interestiing. Your top link said this

Apple used a British company named "IP Application Development LLC" to register the trademark. Can you figure out how it chose that name? Take a look at the name of the company — its acronym is "I.P.A.D."

Shocking.... so we Brits helped them pinch the name?Shocked
