After all, Apple will allow Super Healthy Kids to have a pear (shaped logo)

Last August, the routine history of a trademark opposition captured the imagination of the world, when Apple declared that Super Healthy Kids (yes, that is the real name of a company) should not be allowed to register its pear logo because it could “cause dilution of the distinction” of Apple’s famous fruit-shaped intellectual property.

Six months later, the case is resolved and it looks like Apple didn’t really have a pear-shaped problem – because Super Healthy Kids agreed to change the shape of the leaf on top of that pear, and Apple agreed that this is good enough to let the trademark move forward.

USPTO

Apple has already consented to the agreement, according to documents filed with the USPTO.

“Prepear is pleased to announce that it amicably resolved its trademark issue with Apple,” said company co-founder Russ Monson The Verge, adding that it plans to change the app’s logo in the coming weeks. The app’s website already brings the new sheet.

“Save the Pear from Apple!” Monson’s petition on Change.org ended up receiving 269,650 signatures.
