Apple dispute settles - lawyers left to starve?

Apple dispute settles - lawyers left to starve?

The IPKat has learned from the BBC, following a tip-off from his old friend Nick Gingell, that the generations-long Apple dispute in the UK has settled. Computer and iPod/iTunes company Apple Inc will assume full control of the APPLE trade mark, but it will grant a licence back to Beatles' record company Apple Corps for their continued use and enjoyment. This dispute began more than quarter of a century ago, following convergence of computer and sound recording technologies.

The IPKat is glad and hopes this means he can download Beatles tracks for his MP3. Merpel says, I hope the Law Society is providing counselling and therapy sessions for the many lawyers who will be forced to look for fresh work ...
