Thanks. But I didn't really expect it was folklore. Just suspected it was a
story that might have changed in the telling. A list member sent me a link
that discusses the case; and in fact, the suit happened only when Apple
Computer started sneaking into the music business. In other words, Apple
Records perceived no infringement as long as the mark was not confusible due
to being in a separate field, but got annoyed when the mark started to cross
over into their field. That pretty much fits the point I was making.
