Judge Rules Apple Case to Be Heard in London
From Associated Press
A British court judge ruled that a trademark battle between Apple Computer Inc. and the Beatles’ record company, Apple Corps Ltd., should be heard in London.
Judge Martin Mann rejected an argument by Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple Computer that the case should be tried in its home territory. The judge didn’t set a trial date and said Apple Computer could appeal the decision.
Apple Corps is suing Apple Computer, claiming the U.S. company violated a 1991 agreement by entering the music business with its iTunes online store.
