Between 1978 and 2007, there were a number of legal disputes between Apple Corps (owned by the Beatles) and the computer manufacturer Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) over competing trademark rights, specifically over the use of the name “Apple” and their respective logos which consist of a profile of an apple. Apple Inc. paid Apple Corps. over three settlements: $80,000 in 1978, $26.5 million in 1991, and $500 million in 2007, when Apple Inc. acquired all the trademarks related to “Apple”.
Yeah I think so (I had to look it up though!)
These are settlements for breach of trademark, not proceeds for selling their music like you seemed to be saying in your initial comment
I didn’t mean my comment that way, but I’ve just reread it and yeah I wrote it way too ambiguously lol
