Att Apple vill skydda sitt varumärke så gott det går är inga konstigheter, men ibland känns det som att Apples jurister mest mobbas för att få sin vilja fram. Det har blivit känt att receptappen PrePear kommer tas till rätta för varumärkes intrång då deras logotyp påminner om Apples logotyp och detta skulle potentiellt kunna skada Apples varumärke. I sitt anspråk skriver Apple att Prepears logga har en minimalistisk design och ett löv som lutar åt höger, vilket även lövet på Apples logga gör.

Att man inte ska jämföra äpplen och päron är något vi fått lära oss som barn och i hopp om att Apple ska lära sig detta har Prepear dragit igång en namninsamling på Change.org där de skriver att de vill få stopp på Apples osköna beteende. På insamlingssidan skriver Prepear detta:
"Apple has opposed the trademark application for our small business, Prepear, demanding that we change our obviously pear shaped logo, used to represent our brand in the recipe management and meal planning business... Most small businesses cannot afford the tens of thousands of dollars it would cost to fight Apple," the petition claims. "It is a very terrifying experience to be legally attacked by one of the largest companies in the world, even when we have clearly done nothing wrong, and we understand why most companies just give in and change their logos."

Dear Instagram Friends- I NEED YOUR HELP! I know there are a lot of heavy things going on in the world right now, and this is nothing in comparison, but I need your help in a situation that is affecting me, my family, and my coworkers. Please help! Many of you know that I started a business called Prepear almost 5 years ago. It is an app that you can store all your recipes in one place, plan your meals, make grocery lists, and get your groceries delivered all in one place. Recently @apple yes, The trillion dollar Apple, has decided to oppose and go after our small business’ trademark saying our pear logo is too close to their apple logo and supposedly hurts their brand? This is a big blow to us at Prepear. To fight this it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. The CRAZY thing is that Apple has done this to dozens of other other small business fruit logo companies, and many have chosen to abandon their logo, or close doors. While the rest of the world is going out of their way to help small businesses during this pandemic, Apple has chosen to go after our small business. I’m not trying to get anyone to stop using or buying Apple products. I feel a moral obligation to take a stand against Apple's aggressive legal action against small businesses and fight for the right to keep our logo. We are defending ourselves against Apple not only to keep our logo, but to send a message to big tech companies that bullying small businesses has consequences. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1 Sign the petition (link in my bio or in my stories) 2 Share that same link on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. http://chng.it/QPd2mRYW #savethepearfromapple
