According to the cafe owner, Mrs. Christin Römer, Apple now seems to intend to solve the situation amicably while being not too harsh with respect to demands for limitation of the list of goods and services covered by "Apfelkind". A proposal of Mrs. Römer, according to which she would withdraw some classes of her registration provided that Apple starts a larger project for children (or at least starts funding such a project), however, seems to be no longer part of the discussion. Rather an undertaking not to use the "Apfelkind" logo on covers, cases, holsters, covers, wraps, pouches etc. for smart phones or the like may be an acceptable way out of this conflict.

This conflict seems also to be of interest for non-German readers, as shows e.g. this French and Portuguese coverage. It remains to be seen, how and when this case finally is settled. Mrs. Römer, however, is hopeful to finally open her cafe, which she apparently kept close so far in order to avoid any further legal problems, still this year...
