Mr Justice Mann ruled iTunes was "a form of electronic shop" and not involved in creating music.Pretty amazing. Especially the part about Apple getting their legal bills paid. Anyway, I hope that this will quell the long-runing dispute between Apple and Apple Corps and these legal battles will quit popping up.
"I conclude that the use of the apple logo ... does not suggest a relevant connection with the creative work," he wrote in his judgment.
"I think that the use of the apple logo is a fair and reasonable use of the mark in connection with the service, which does not go further and unfairly or unreasonably suggest an additional association with the creative works themselves."
Apple Corps must pay its rival's legal bill, estimated at £2m, but the judge refused an interim payment of £1.5m pending further hearings.
