Apple Challenges Woolworths W Trade Mark
In a vigorous protection of its well-known trade-mark, computer and electronics giant, Apple, is challenging an application by Woolworths in Australia to register, as a trade-mark, a stylized green “W” with a stem that resembles the well known Apple logo.

Woolworths says that Apple is taking trade-mark protection “to the extreme”.
