Apple to sue Polish online grocery website
So the latest victim of Apple’s eagle-eyed legal team is an online Polish grocery website. The top level domain for Poland is .pl and there’s a website called a.pl which is a kind of online deli store that does home delivery.
Apple has apparently filed a complaint with the Polish Patent Office claiming that the Polish company copied one of Apple’s logos on its website, despite the fact that the company is no longer using the logo in question. A Polish patent office spokesman Adam Taukert reportedly said:
“Apple brand is widely recognized and the company says that A.pl, by using the name that sounds similar, is using Apple’s reputation”
Radoslaw Celinski is the Polish company’s chief executive and he responded by saying “The accusation is ludicrous”.
