Apple, in a complaint filed March 18 in California, accused a grocery shop in my neighborhood for selling Apples ....

Apple won't win as Apple does not own "app store".

Apple doesnt even own the Trademark, how would they possibly prevail? How can the suit even get a hearing?

99% of the time, the side with the most expensive lawyers owns whatever they want to claim they own.
The system is broken that way. |

Having just read the article, Apple applied for Trademark and it was approved but this is now being opposed by another bastion of free speech - Microsoft... at the moment then Apple do have it trademarked until a court ruling on Microsoft's enlightened opposition... until that time (and after if they win) Apple are perfectly entitled to claim and defend the trademark... damn, I really should have become a lawyer, there're rich pickings here but my parents were married...

Didn't Steve Jobs himself use the generic term "app store" when talking about Google's App Market? That should kill the lawsuit right there, shouldn't it?

I'm going to trademark "grocery store", "department store", and "book store".
