The term "apple" as a common noun referring to the fruit is not copyrighted, as copyright protects original works of authorship, not individual words or ideas. However, the name "Apple" is trademarked by Apple Inc., which means it is protected in the context of their products and services. This prevents other companies from using the name in a way that could cause confusion in the marketplace. Trademarks and copyrights serve different purposes in intellectual property law.
