I would bet that the Seattle System 7 is just too small too have noticed by
Apple and sued yet. But they will be. Apple Computer Inc sues people more
often than anyone except Apple Music UK ( ie : The Beatles ). Just don't be
sure you've actually got a name for your band until you get a Federal
Trademark on it ( or the UK equivalent ). Here in Bellingham, Zephyr records
( very small store ) got threatened with a lawsuit from Disney because there
was a tiny Mickey Mouse-like image on a piece of hand-made Fimo jewelry !!
They didn't even know they had it.
