Judge set to reach core in battle of big Apples

A HIGH Court judge rules today in the latest battle between the big apples — the Beatles’ Apple Corps and Apple Computer.

Apple Corps accused the US company of breaching a trademark agreement by selling music in the latest round of a multi-million pound battle over logos dating back to the early 1980s.

Each company had agreed a “field of use” of the Apple mark. But Apple Corps claimed the pledge not to sell music was breached by Apple Computer’s online iTunes Music Store.
