Friday morning the local Fox television station in New York City broke the news - Apple was suing New York City. Six out of 100 of their viewers thought Apple had the right to sue the City, but 94 out of 100 viewers are now calling for New Yorkers to drop Apple and its products, including the iPhone and Macs. New Yorkers are pissed off! New York City, universally known as The Big Apple, is facing a lawsuit from Steve Jobs' Apple Computer Inc. for, of all things, copyright infringement.

As noted, this concerns trademarks, a significantly different area of IP than copyright. Also, the legal standard is "likely to cause confusion," hence why you are likely to see that in any filings by the complaining party. It's considered standard language.
The analysis turns on, among other things, a "probability of confusion." That would have been a more relevant question to the NYC public (e.g., Q:"are you confused by the apples? A: is this a joke?").

It isn't a lawsuit, it's an objection to a filing; and it isn't a copyright, it's a tradename. A writer, of all people, should know the difference.
