Apple is seeking the exclusive image rights of apples in Switzerland, according to a Swiss fruit growers association. Fruit Union Suisse, an 111-year-old organisation that promotes the interests of fruit farmers in the country, may be forced to change its logo if the US tech giant succeeds in its legal bid. The association’s logo features a red apple with a white cross on it, having been slightly revised in 2011 in order to celebrate the organisation’s centenary. “We have a hard time understanding this, because it’s not like they’re trying to protect their bitten apple.” Fruit Union Suisse director Jimmy Mariethoz told Wired. “Their objective here is really to own the rights to an actual apple, which, for us, is something that is really almost universal... that should be free for everyone to use.” It is one of several attempts by Apple to gain intellectual property rights over the eponymous fruit, according to the World Intellectual Property Organisation. Countries that have acquiesced to Apple’s demands include Armenia, Israel, Japan and Turkey. Separate records from the Tech Transparency Project show that Apple filed more trademark applications than Amazon, Facebook, Google and Microsoft combined between 2019 and 2021. Apple first applied to the Swiss Institute of Intellectual Property for the trademark of a depiction of a Granny Smith apple in 2017, covering electronic, digital and audiovisual consumer goods. The request was only partially granted, leading Apple to submit an appeal earlier this year. “We’re concerned that any visual representation of an apple – so anything that’s audiovisual or linked to new technologies or to media – could be potentially impacted,” said Mariethoz. “Theoretically, we could be entering slippery territory every time we advertise with an apple.” The Independent has reached out to Apple for a response, though the company typically does not comment on ongoing legal matters.

Kanye West celebrated his 46th birthday over the weekend in a lavish Los Angeles bash, with his daughter North West and reported wife Bianca Censori in attendance. Like most birthday parties, food was in order – but it was the display that soon caught the attention of social media users. In footage shared on Twitter, nude women were seen lying on tables with platters of sushi covering their private areas. "Not creepy at all," one user hit back, while another added: "This feels problematic." Meanwhile, a third suggested it portrayed "misogyny at its finest." The Japanese practice is said to be called nyotaimori, also referred to as 'body sushi'. Nantaimori is the male equivalent. According to sources, some high dining nyotaimori experiences can cost as much as $13,000 (£10,300).

West's reported wife was also spotted holding hands with his eldest daughter as they made their way to the event. After months of speculation about the rapper's relationship status with the head of architecture for the Yeezy brand, one content creator sent social media spiralling. In a viral video that circulated on TikTok earlier this year, Censori, 28, appeared to confirm she was married without explicitly naming West. TikTok user Nue filmed himself having a conversation with a "sexy" bleach-blonde woman while out shopping. He wrapped up their encounter by asking for her number, to which she replied: "I’m married!" The woman in question turned out to be Censori, sending viewers into a frenzy. "I think she’s adorable and I’m happy for her and ye," one person wrote about the alleged marriage, while another added: "She honestly seems like a really sweet person."
