Store: Apple has secured the ability to trademark the layout of its Apple Stores in Europe. The ruling that the tech giant could trademark its store design came from the European Court of Justice, reports The Wall Street Journal. The court ruled that the layout of the stores met with the criteria needed to apply for a trademark. This included having a layout that distinguishes it from other companies, being able to be represented in a graphic and that it constitutes a sign. This means that Apple can use its layout in Europe without having to worry about other companies copying it.
