- That reminds me:
- (from Computer World July 6, 1992)
-
- "Only a year after Apple shelled out $26.5 million to settle a suit brought
- by The Beatles over the name "Apple", the company may be facing another
- fight. This years offender: Newton. Those in the industry may remember it
- as the moniker of an upcoming handheld personal computer from Apple,
- but the rest of the world knows it as a fig cookie made by Nabisco Foods
- Group. Nabisco has held the "Newton" trademark for 101 years... and has
- been known to be very protective of its rights."
