Apple Computer (now just Apple) had to settle with the Beatles several times. The Beatles own label was Apple Corp. One time the settlement included the promise Apple Computers wouldn't sell music, because trademarks / company names often only apply to a range of activities. Then Apple created iTunes and got sued again.
Ironically the Apple name and logo (originally the bitten apple had coloured stripes, but neither Newton's rainbow or the 6 colour LGBTQI one) was chosen because at least one of the three founders was a Beatle fan.
