Actually, and I could be wrong, but I believe there have been two other
suits by Apple Corps (not Apple Records)...one for the name in the 1980's
and then another one over music passing through speakers in the 1990's.
Both were won by Apple Corps, the second at a cost of 50million I believe.
It is suggested that it is a matter of interpretation on this one.   A
settlement will more than likely be worked out I believe.
