But those uses are in different industries. "Apple" is a trademark both in
music and in computers; but I would not recommend starting "Apple Software"
or "Apple Tunes" as business names. Trademark law is concerned about
confusion (not just infringement or dilution); and the chance of confusion
is a lot higher when both names are in the same industry.
