Leave it to "Android Authority" to throw a shit fit over a nothing story. Apple lost this application in 2017, and will almost certainly lose this appeal filed in April. Yes, it's silly, but this article makes it sound like Apple is committing some sort of unspeakable crime, which it isn't.

Calm down, everyone.

Important not from that article:

It’s not the first time we’ve seen big tech companies attempt to trademark common terms or goods. However, a study by the Tech Transparency Project found that Apple filed more trademark oppositions over a three-year period than Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook combined.

If you think trademarking of common terms is a bad thing at all, apple seems to be the worst among big tech firms.

P.S. this "Android Authority" article put apple in the correct light in my opinion after reading it, and I use a lot of Apple products.

this whole argument is preposterous on its face to blame apple for anything when the problem is the laws which allow it. where's the outrage for the swiss apple company with their trademarked apple logo? nowhere.

you hate apple, and that's the source of the outrage and why you blame them rather than the courts and legislatures for their crappy IP laws.
