>So why are they after the small people like GetJar??

To be consistent. They're not out to get Amazon. They're out to own the term "App Store" and are proving it by going after anyone who tries to use it. So in court they can say that it isn't just the big guys that are infringing but also smaller players.




but they lost that right with the Amazon judgement, the original question remains why now go after anyone using Appstore words combination?


The Amazon judgment only denied the preliminary injunction, it didn't resolve the ownership of the trademark (if any). The case is still on-going and Apple may introduce additional evidence as the case continues.
