The Beatles and Apple Kiss and Make Up

January 1st, 1970

Rumours are circulating that the Beatles and Apple have finally settled their long running feud and as a result that Beatles tracks will finally be available on iTunes. The members of the legendary 60s pop group had a long running trade mark dispute with Apple over the Apple trade mark - which the Beatles controlled in terms of the music industry - as a result of their Apple Recordings label.

Although the two companies had a agreement to allow their trade marks to co-exist, the issue came to a head as a result of Apple's enormous success with the iPod and iTunes, which reinvented the technology company as a heavyweight in the music world. As a result of the tensions the remaining members of the Beatles and Yoko Ono took Apple to court in London during 2006 but lost their case to challenge Apple's use of the trade mark in the music industry.

There were hints of a reconciliation at the iPhone launch last week which featured at least two references to the Beatles - so it would appear that the remaining members of the Beatles have now licked their wounds and bowed to the inevitable - giving permission for Beatles tracks to be sold on iTunes. I'm sure it won't hurt their already swollen hip pockets much either.
