Apple is threatening to sue a small, family run café in Bonn because they are of the opinion that their logo infringes on Apple’s trademark. The owner of the café Apfelkind, Christin Römer, has registered her logo as a trademark for the service and fashion industry in June in Munich. Now Apple is claiming in a cease and desist letter that there could be confusion between the small café in Bonn and their global entertainment brand.
The owners of Apfelkind (which is German for “apple child”) are currently deciding if they will change their logo but they have filed a legal letter with Apple disputing the technology giant’s claim of confusion and the fact that Apfelkind is infringing on Apple Inc.’s trademark.
