A lawyer for Apple Computer Inc. on Wednesday defended the company's right to use its apple logo in a series of TV advertisements for its iTunes Music Store, despite objections from the Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd. recording label.
Apple Corps is suing Apple Computer in London's High Court, claiming the computer company has broken a 1991 agreement in which each agreed not to enter into the others' field of business.
The British company, started by the Beatles in 1968, argues that Apple Computer has infringed its territory by entering into the music business and is seeking to force Apple Computer to drop its apple logo from the iTunes Music Store and pay unspecified damages.
