Prepear is an app that helps customers search for recipes, plan meals, make lists, and set up groceries. The app is the spinoff of "Super Healthy Kids" and the founders claim they are facing Apple's lawsuit. It has been argued that Apple issues with the Prepear logo, and that its features are similar to its logo.

The company said in a post on Instagram, "Apple has decided to oppose our small business trademark and believes that our Pier logo is very close to their Apple logo and will brand the harm from it. " The Post describes the move as a "big shock to us on prep" and hopes to retain the original logo and "send a message to big tech companies that there will be consequences for threatening small businesses".

Apple "launched the company Change.org in an effort to help small tech companies, such as us to stop protests of prepear logos and prevent large tech companies from misusing their positions. The Covid-19 effect."

Prepear said it was a "very small business" with only five team members and the legal costs from the dispute were already thousands of dollars and suggested that the cost to the team member should be reduced.

"Apple opposes the trademark application for our small business prepaid, demanding that we change our clear pear-shaped logo to represent our brand in the recipe management and meal planning business." It just happens for ... most small businesses cannot afford thousands. The petition states that it will cost to fight Apple. "Legally attacking one of the world's largest companies is a terrible experience. We understand why so many companies give in and change their logo, even if we are not clearly wrong."

The petition currently has 9,000 signatures, and the founders expect it to reach 10,000.

Even in cases where the logo or industry differs from Apple, Apple "opposes dozens of other trademark applications filed by small businesses with logos related to fruits," Prepear said. The logo has been a source of Apple legal action in the past, such as a case against a Norwegian political party and the German bicycle route.
