Watchmaker Withdraws Charges Against Apple Over Infringement
Jewelry and watch maker Carrier said Apple did not ask for permission to use its timepiece in making a software application called Fake Watch for iPhone, prompting the company to file an infringement lawsuit against the technology giant.
Meanwhile, Cartier withdrew its case after Apple removed the software from its App Store.
Cartier, a company which manufactures jewelries and luxury watches, withdrew its infringement case against Apple Inc. after the latter removed an application which has depicted a watch from the jewelry maker.
The watch maker said Apple did not ask for permission to use its timepiece in making a software application called Fake Watch for iPhone, prompting the company to file an infringement lawsuit against the technology giant.
In a statement, Cartier’s lawyer said they withdrew the case after Apple has taken an immediate action to remove the software application from the App Store.
On Friday, Cartier filed an infringement lawsuit against Apple before a district court in Manhattan In its complaint, the jewelry maker said iPhone applications “Fake Watch Gold Edition” and “Fake Watch” resemble its luxury wristwatches.
The “Fake Watch” application is a free download while its paid version “Fake Watch Gold Edition” can be downloaded from App Store.
Last month, Apple was also under controversy when it released “Baby Shaker” which displays a picture of crying baby. The whole concept of this application is that users have to shake their phones to make the child stop from crying, but with many people offended from the software, especially those parents of victims of shaken baby syndrome, Apple removed this immediately.
Apple failed to give comments about the controversial applications and the withdrawn lawsuit against the company.
