Apple Sues Canadian School for Similar Logo

Honestly, I thought the outline looked a lot like Apple's logo. I don't expect Apple to sue them, but a sending a letter seems reasonable to me. If they are going to use an apple try adding a stem and branch or something in the background. The way things are if you want to keep a trademark you need to defend it and this was fairly close IMO.

Well, if they send a cease and desist, and the other party doesn't cease and desist, they won't have much choice other than to sue them. Nobody wants to develop a reputation for failing to follow through on threats.
Missing from article: how long has this school been using this logo? It looks like a fairly recent logo, almost certainly postdating the original "stripey" Apple logo, but does it postdate the "non-stripy" Apple logo design?

They don't even look vaguely similar.
ah ... blow jobs again :) ... yes suck my karma.
It's fine teaching our kids to stand up to bullies in school, but in the real world, if you haven't got the money to waste on a defense, just let the bullies win.
