Apple Takes Issue With Pharmacy's Trademark

2017/12/22

Apple has filed an opposition with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) against an application filed by a pharmacy. The mark filed by Red Apple Interactive Pharmacy, consists of the word 'RX', surrounded by the outline of an apple. Applied for in December last year, and published in June 2017, the mark covers class 35 for retail pharmacy services. Apple filed its opposition on December 18, claiming that the applied-for mark would cause a likelihood of confusion and dilution by blurring. The document filed by Apple cited the company’s apple logo, the mark 'Apple' and the mark 'Apple Watch' as some of the registrations used to oppose the applied-for mark. Red Apple has until January 27, 2018 to answer the complaint.
