Apple Computer's legal team continues to pick holes in the argument fielded by Apple Corps in the landmark trademark case in the UK High Court.
Apple Corps is demanding that Apple Computer cease using an apple logo in connection with iTunes and the iPod, claiming such use is in breach of a 1991 usage agreement between the two companies.
Apple Computer counters that the agreement instead allowed Apple Computer to employ the mark in a wide field of use, including data transfer and transmission.
As a result of the $26.5 million 1991 settlement, both parties had agreed terms of use of the apple logo: "Apple Corps' field of use is very narrow indeed, being confined to creative works whose complete content is music," said Apple Computer courtroom representative, Lord Grabiner, QC, according to the BBC.
