Apple wants to trademark image of apple, not half-bitten but the full fruit
Apple wants to trademark image of apple, not half-bitten but the full fruitIt is not unusual for tech companies to trademark logos or phrases like Windows or Galaxy. But there are instances when companies file thousands of trademarks (even without needing them) so that they can dissuade new competition with similar-looking logos or words used in their flagship products. Among these tech companies, Apple can be ahead of most rivals in enforcing its IP (intellectual property) over other companies. However, the iPhone maker is taking things to another level by not only trademarking its half-bitten Apple (which it already has) but by coming after the full fruit, Apple.
Apple is coming after a 111-year-old fruit farmer's organisation called Fruit Union Suisse for the latter's official logo. The organisation uses a red apple logo with the white Swiss flag cross superimposed on it. As reported by The Wire, Apple is trying to gain intellectual property rights over depictions of apples -- the fruit and forcing the Fruit Union Suisse to rethink their logo.
Speaking about the proposed trademark, Fruit Union Suisse director Jimmy Mariethoz says Apple's trademark claim has nothing to do with their half-bitten apple. He adds, "Their objective here is really to own the rights to an actual apple, which, for us, is something that is really almost universal... that should be free for everyone to use."

‘He tried to bribe us’: Greenwood man arrested after 4 kids say he molested them
Greenwood police have arrested a man accused of molesting four children under the age of 14 during church youth group events and while playing videogames at his Johnson County home, in what one victim described as a “never-ending cycle.”
William Jayson Adams, 49, was arrested this week after a local police investigation into allegations that he repeatedly sexually harassed and fondled four young children between Jan. 2020 and Sept. 2022. He now faces four felony counts of child molestation.
Adams, court documents show, was a trusted adult whom the child victims often spent time with, playing videogames and going on religious youth-group hikes at his home on the 500 block of Park Drive in Greenwood.
