Paul and Robert designed a new disk holder that they wanted to introduce to a large market. They decided that the quickest way to have their product recognized would be a symbol that would alert the buyer that it can be used with any computer. After playing with some symbols, they decided to use a slight variation of Apple Computer Ltd.'s symbol of an apple because it was pleasing to the eye and well known. Which of the following is true?
◦ There could be no infringement of Apple Computer Ltd.'s registered trademark unless the apple symbol used by Paul and Robert was exactly like Apple's symbol.
◦ It is one of the jobs of the trademark office to alert owners of trademarks when their symbols are being used by others.
◦ There could be no infringement of Apple Computer Ltd.'s registered trademark unless Apple Computer Ltd. suffered a loss because of this unauthorized use of its symbol.
◦ If Apple Computer Ltd. sues Paul and Robert for infringement of trademark, it could ask the court for an injunction as well as for damages.
◦ Even if Paul and Robert knowingly forged the trademark, they would only be liable in a civil action and could never be charged with a criminal offence.
