trademark holders in the united states that have reserved the use of the term 'apple' and either one might successfully
prevent such a use. As for international buyers, we have no idea what laws or trademarks might be involved. With that being
said any buyer agrees to rely solely on its own sources of legal opinions with regard to any plans that a buyer might have
for using the domain name, especially as a trademark for any specific type goods.
