It's a FRUIT. It doesn't look like the Apple Computer logo either. Only a MORON would confuse the two.
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/10/26/german-family-owned-cafe-battles-apple-over-logo-dispute/?test=faces When is an apple with a cutout silhouette and a leaf on top just, well, an apple? A German family cafe and the American tech giant are trying to sort that out.
The Local Germany reported Wednesday that when Christin Romer opened her cafe in the west German city of Bonn last May she named it Apfelkind (apple baby) after a nearby apple orchard. Then she commissioned a logo, which turned out to be a red apple with a cut-out silhouette of a child in a hat, and liked it so much she had it reprinted on cushions, chairs, cups and even a delivery bike.

Feeling its oats, Apple has initiated legal action in Singapore against Ritz Apple Strudel, claiming their logo
could siphon off sales of Apple products by people who would rather have a tasty treat than an overpriced POS. 
eta: I just received an email from this guy 
I'm being sued. They claim to own the rights to oats™.

There is more to this story I'd bet.
Apple is not stupid. They wouldn't get involved without a reason. There is not enough info in that story to really know what the situation is. If she has a business.. like computer based, or internet cafe, or whatever..there has to be a reason they would get involved, not just on a whim. Apple would not send lawyers after her if she was just a little cafe selling cookies and cake. The only thing she mentions is wanting to sell franchises and my guess is..it has something to do with that. Maybe she's selling franchises for internet cafe's all over europe with her apple logo. In a franchise..logo's mean alot. Who knows? That article doesn't give any real information. But Apple haters go ahead....

People will be along shortly to say since they were issued a patent on it that it Apple has a right to sue anybody that makes such a device/software. I'm not even talking about Apple fans either.
