I heard the Apple Corps filed suit back when SJ announced the
first iPod, and that the suit was closed by Apple paying a "once

SJ could probably just buy them if he felt they were a threat.
There is a current suit over Apple selling music in its on-line
store. When they settled the last suit, part of the deal was that
they would not sell music. Looks like they're selling music to
Apple Corps, and to me as well.
I think the suit you're referring to there was the one in the late
1970s/early 1980s. The settlement in 1991 supposedly killed that one.
The current dispute that Bob W pointed to with the URL is over the
use of the Apple logo.
I love watching the lawyers dance like this. They're all making money
from it... both of the principals and all the lawyers too.
