According to an article carried on Bloomberg’s website, Apple, Inc. is suing Amazon over the use of the “App Store” trademark.  The story at http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-21/apple-sues-amazon-com-over-use-of-app-store-trademark.html mentions the fact that Amazon mentioned carrying Angry Birds, one of the most popular packages in the Apple App Store and that Amazon “improperly used the Apple App Store Trademark”.

Apple apparently is seeking an injunction against Amazon as well as damages for the usage.
