It was already complicated with Swatch and that should not be settled with since the apple brand has decided to sue the Swiss company, claiming that the advertising campaign "Tick Different"of the latter would be a plagiarism of his own advertisements from twenty years ago"Think different".

Apple has seized the Federal Administrative Court (TAF) after having been dismissed by the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property beforehand.
