Apple Files Opposition Against ORAIMO's 'FREEPODS' Trademark Jul/23/2024

On July 22, Apple Inc. filed an opposition against ORAIMO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED's trademark application for 'FREEPODS', which includes a range of audio and charging devices such as headphones, loudspeakers, microphones, and battery chargers. Apple contends that 'FREEPODS' is confusingly similar to its own series of trademarks, including 'IPOD', 'AIRPODS', 'AIRPODS PRO', 'AIRPODS MAX', 'HOMEPOD', 'HOMEPOD MINI', and 'EARPODS'. Apple's opposition highlights the potential for consumer confusion due to the similarity in product categories and the established recognition of Apple's trademarked products in the audio and electronics markets.
