Apple Inc. was reputedly named after Apple Corps, as a kind of tribute. The two are separate businesses. Apple Corps did sue Apple Inc. over trademarking, after Apple Inc. created iTunes; Apple Inc. had previously agreed not to sell music, which was the domain of Apple Corps. Apple Corps lost in court, but the two companies patched things up afterwards. After the original court decision, Apple Computers created a "sound" for its computers called "Sosumi" which, if pronounced slowly, sounds like "So Sue Me". MP
