Apple vs The Big Apple
Quote:
The GreeNYC logo shows a stylized apple with a stalk and a leaf. It bears a resemblance to Apple's famous logo -- a resemblance Apple says infringes on its trademark.
The city has applied for a trademark on the logo, but Apple has filed a formal opposition (.pdf) obtained by Wired.com.
The Cupertino, California, company calls for the trademark to be denied, claiming the city's logo will confuse people and "seriously injure the reputation which [Apple] has established for its goods and services."
New York says: Getdafugoutaheya.

I'm not sure many people are going to confuse a NYC "Green" initiative with Apple's trademark. And even if someone did, would it be that bad of a thing for Apple to be inferred to be involved in something of this nature?
