Do you recall how The Walt Disney Company or Disney assembled its land in Orlando? Do you think they went to a property owner and said, "Disney would like to buy your land?" By the second deal, or even before the first one closed, the prices per acre would have skyrocketed. Disney bought the land under multiple names so the assembling was not known by any one seller until it was done. The fact that Apple bought the trademark in a trademark-owning entity or an IP owner set up to do that doesn't give the claimant grounds to undo the deal. Many companies own their trademarks in separate entities, including AT&T and Target and probably 100's of companies.
