Press Release: Beatlemania Lives on in Canada
February
19, 2007
Ottawa - The Royal Mail's first
stamp issue of 2007 was to celebrate the 1960's music phenomenon, The
Beatles. To acknowledge their international impact, Canada Post will be
selling two United Kingdom products at select Post Offices in late
February.
Offering Britain's newest stamps
in Canada will allow the memorabilia market to join in the excitement
of stamp collecting. Designed by Michael Johnson, the Beatles set
features six era-defining album sleeves, brought together on six
stamps. The titles are: With The Beatles, Help!, Revolver, Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be and Abbey Road.
The Beatles Stamp Set
Presentation Pack includes a fully illustrated folder containing a set
of all six self-adhesive stamps and the souvenir sheet. Also available
will be The Beatles First Day Cover Set consisting of two first day
cover envelopes, one for the set of six stamps and one for the souvenir
sheet. Each product will sell for $14.99.
Royal Mail has
recently started
promoting stamps from foreign postal administrations, Canada Post
stamps being their first promotion.
Canada Post has previously
offered Britain's Princess Diana stamps and the U.S. stamps featuring
Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. These stamps were well received and sold out
quickly.
Additional information about
Canadian stamps can be found in the Newsroom section of Canada Post's
website, and downloadable high-resolution photos of these new stamps
are in the Newsroom's
Photo Centre. Both U.K. products will be available at participating
post offices, and can be ordered online by following the links at
Canada Post's website www.canadapost.ca,
or by mail order from the National Philatelic Centre. From Canada and
the USA call toll-free: 1-800-565-4362 and from other countries call:
(902) 863-6550.

Press Release: Apple Inc. and
The Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd Enter into New Agreement
CUPERTINO, California and
LONDON—Apple® Inc. and The Beatles' company Apple Corps Ltd are
pleased to announce the parties have entered into a new agreement
concerning the use of the name "Apple" and apple logos which replaces
their 1991 Agreement. Under this new agreement, Apple Inc will own all
of the trademarks related to "Apple" and will license certain of those
trademarks back to Apple Corps for their continued use. In addition,
the ongoing trademark lawsuit between the companies will end, with each
party bearing its own legal costs, and Apple Inc. will continue using
its name and logos on iTunes®. The terms of settlement are
confidential.
Commenting on the settlement,
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO said, "We love the Beatles, and it has been
painful being at odds with them over these trademarks. It feels great
to resolve this in a positive manner, and in a way that should remove
the potential of further disagreements in the future."
Commenting on the settlement on
behalf of the shareholders of Apple Corps, Neil Aspinall, manager of
Apple Corps said, "It is great to put this dispute behind us and move
on. The years ahead are going to be very exciting times for us. We wish
Apple Inc. every success and look forward to many years of peaceful
co-operation with them."
