Apple claim they're trademarks are applicable to the field of music,
because they're computers have audio capabilities.... (ie not only
could they sue a computer manufacturer who called the system System 7,
they could sue a synth manufacturer who did that too... but they
couldn't, say, sue a manufacturer who called a vacuum cleaner System
7....)
Whether the trademark prevents a band calling itself System 7, i know
not....
