Apple Wins EU Challenge Over Keyboard Maker's Citrus Logo

Apple won a partial EU trademark challenge against Chinese keyboard maker Yichun Qinningmeng Electronics Co.

EUIPO said the citrus-themed logo was only minimally similar to Apple’s mark, but could still create a link and unfairly benefit from Apple’s reputation.

The trademark was blocked for keyboard-related goods, while the application may still move forward for solar panels.

The company can appeal the decision.
