True, however, not the quote An Apple Computer rep declined to comment on the pending litigation and pointed to an earlier statement that said the two companies have "differeing interpretations" of the agreement. I'm not sure it's the people being quoted who can't spell. I expect accuracy from Forbes, but it seems that they're skimping on Web copyediting.

I live right down the street from "Apple > Auto Repair" and they're not being sued by the Beetles. They're not even in a remotely similar business. This actually started way back when Apple Computer was founded, but they worked it out with an agreement that Apple Computer would never actually encroach on Apple Records by offering music-related products. Several times, Apple Computer has, in fact, released music-related products. The IIgs and QuickTime are probably the two highest profile occasions. Now Apple Computer is directly involved in the sale and distribution of music. It's even at the point where Apple Computer owns the applemusic.com domain. Regardless of how active Apple Records appears to have been as a business entity, they _must_ pursue action against activity that infringes on or dilutes their trademarks if they wish to retain ownership.
