Apple is seeking to halt the distribution of an action-comedy film titled “Apple-Man,” fearing consumers may believe the film is associated with the Cupertino-based tech giant. <\/p>\n

\n

In 2020, Ukrainian film director Vasyl Moskalenko wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign<\/a> for his indie action-comedy movie, “Apple Man.” The film centers around a superhero who has the power to levitate apples \u2014 the fruit. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, as the film enters post-production, Apple has begun the process of shutting down the world’s first healthy lifestyle superhero film before it ever reaches consumers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the film’s creator, Apple has filed a 467-page lawsuit against him, stating that consumers may believe “Apple Man” is “associated with, or approved, endorsed, or provided by Apple.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Moskalenko notes that his movie has been approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Apple is now attempting to have the trademark registration application denied. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
