Apple: Apple Corps Didn’t Object to iTMS During Pre-Release Demo
Tuesday, April 4th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Apple Computer demonstrated the iTunes Music Store to Apple Corps executives four months before it launched and didn't hear an objection, an Apple attorney revealed in a London court on Wednesday. According to an IDG News Service article, closing arguments have been made and Justice Edward Mann said he will likely issue his ruling by the end of the month.
Reporter Jeremy Kirk said in his article that Apple Computer attorney Anthony Grabiner characterized Apple Corps chief Neil Aspinall's testimony as "self-serving" and "obviously the product of discussion with lawyers."
In his closing remarks, Apple Corps attorney Geoffrey Vos referred to Apple Computer as a "Johnny-come-lately" with regard to the Apple trademark, and said that the company "has been trying to take more and more away from us."
If the ruling goes against Apple, the company will have to change its logo presentation within iTunes, as well as in related advertising and marketing materials. Apple Corps could then pursue monetary damages, although, as Mr. Kirk noted in his story, the iTunes Music Store doesn't make a lot of money for Apple since most of the music revenue goes to the record labels and the company has to pay for the infrastructure.
