    It isn’t even their logo, they are trying to copyright images of apples.

    “We have a hard time understanding this, because it’s not like they’re trying to protect their bitten apple,” Fruit Union Suisse director Jimmy Mariéthoz was quoted as saying by the outlet. “Their objective here is really to own the rights to an actual apple, which, for us, is something that is really almost universal… that should be free for everyone to use.”

      They tried years ago to copyright the use of the letter ‘i’ and failed.

        I think they tried to trademark it, like intel tried to trademark the number 86.
