Apple trademark wants to bite the party "Yabloko"

Recently, kupertinovtsy delight us with their activity in Russia. And here's another great news. Recently, Apple has filed with Rospatent application for the registration of two trademarks, "Apple" and "Apple". It would seem that what could be the problem? However, this is not like the Russian political party "Yabloko" (yes, it still exists), which is ready to compete with the guys from Cupertino for the right to use "apple" trademark.

By reports "Izvestiya", the leader of the "Yabloko" Sergei Mitrokhin is not ready to share with kupertinovtsy called "political brand":

In this issue should be dealt with by lawyers, but if Apple wants to sell its products to Russia under the Russian name "Apple", then we will have questions. In our country, they know exactly how Apple. Russian word "Apple" - is our brand. If political brand will coincide with the commercial, I do not think it will suit us. We'll figure out. I do not rule out legal action. Russian word "apple" we are not ready to give up, English - please. We do not claim it.

Experts say that if Apple and "Apple" will not be able to negotiate peacefully, then the guys from Cupertino has a trump card - 1486 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. If we prove in court that the party "Yabloko" for more than 3 years of not using the trademark for goods and services, for these goods or services in registration will be prematurely terminated and Apple will be able to safely use the apple trademark sign.

In general, it will be very interesting to watch this truly epic battle, you think?
