    Ironically, Apple got the shit sued out of them for the name by the Beatles because it infringed on the name of their record label.

      Yes, and it’s an excellent example that Apple the record label trademark was valid yet Apple the computer company could use it in a separate context, but had to change when they did iTunes.

      Here it’s squarely in the same market. The cited example of customer confusion about a concert event works strongly in their favor.
