Apple filed a federal trademark infringement suit against the City of New York and their GreeNYC campaign. GreeNYC created a logo that is being used on bus shelters, hybrid gasoline-electric taxicabs and even Whole Foods shopping bags. Apple says the logo looks too much like their logo and people may confuse the two.
Apple is claiming the GreeNYC mark will "seriously injure the reputation which [Apple] has established for its goods and services."
"This well-known city is using its new design in a variety of contexts that have absolutely nothing to do with Apple Inc.," New York City claims.
What do you think? Is Apple overreacting? Or has New York City bitten off more than it can chew?
