Apple Records

Apple Records is a division of Apple Corps, and is the record company that produced all of The Beatles' albums after 1968, as well as side projects by members of the Beatles.

## Dispute with Apple Computer[edit]

In 1978 Apple Records filed a trademark infringement suit against Apple Inc. (the electronics designer and manufacturer) for use of the apple logo. The dispute was ended in 1981 when Apple Computers paid $80,000 to Apple Records. Part of the settlement included the condition that Apple Inc. would not enter the music business.[1] These terms were violated by Apple Inc. twice; once in 1991 and again in 2003.[2] Relations between the two companies has improved in recent years with Apple Records allowing Apple Computers to sell Beatles recordings through the iTunes software.
