Logos have been the source of legal action by Apple in the past, such as the case against a Norwegian political party and a German cycling path. Prepear says that Apple 'has opposed dozens of other trademark applications filed by small businesses with fruit related logos,' even in cases where the logo or industry is dissimilar to Apple's. The petition has currently reached almost 9,000 signatures, and the founders hope it will reach 10,000. 'It is a very terrifying experience to be legally attacked by one of the largest companies in the world, even when we have clearly done nothing wrong, and we understand why most companies just give in and change their logos.' Most small businesses cannot afford the tens of thousands of dollars it would cost to fight Apple,' the petition claims.

'Apple has opposed the trademark application for our small business, Prepear, demanding that we change our obviously pear shaped logo, used to represent our brand in the recipe management and meal planning business. Pear Note is described as 'records audio, video, and what you do, including typing notes and changing slides, on a timeline. Prepear says that it is a 'very small business' with only five team members, and explains that legal costs from the dispute have already cost thousands of dollars and the layoff of a team member. The company has launched a petition in an attempt to persuade Apple to 'drop its opposition of the Prepear Logo, and help stop big tech companies from abusing their position of power by going after small businesses like ours who are already struggling due to the affects of Covid-19.' The post goes on to describe the action as 'a big blow to us at Prepear,' and sets out the intention to retain the original logo and 'send a message to big tech companies that bullying small businesses has consequences.'

The company said via a post on Instagram that Apple 'has decided to oppose and go after our small business' trademark saying our pear logo is too close to their apple logo and supposedly hurts their brand'. Apple reportedly takes issue with Prepear's logo, arguing that its attributes are too similar to its own logo. The app is a spinoff of ' Super Healthy Kids,' and the founders claim that they are facing litigation from Apple. Prepear is an app that helps users discover recipes, plan meals, make lists, and arrange grocery deliveries. Apple is taking legal action against the developers of the app 'Prepear' due to its logo, according to iPhone in Canada.
