LONDON, May 8 (UPI) -- London's High Court says Apple Computer did not violate a copyright agreement with the Beatles' Apple Corps record label.
The British label had taken the U.S. computer maker to court over its iTunes music store, claiming the use of the Apple logo violated an earlier copyright settlement in which Apple Computer agreed not use the logo in connection with the music industry.
However, Justice Edward Mann ruled Apple Computer was using its logo for the store, not the digital downloads it sells, so there was no violation, the BBC reported Monday.
The logo for Apple Computer, founded in 1976, is an apple with a section removed from the side. The Beatles' Apple Corps, founded in 1968, has a logo of a whole Granny Smith apple.
In rejecting the claim brought by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of George Harrison and John Lennon, Mann ordered Apple Corps to pay the Apple Computer's legal costs.
