Apple and Qualcomm are accusing each other over several patent infringements. In the past, Apple was also involved in several patent infringement cases. Then there is also a whopping EUR 13 billion fine slashed on Apple by EU over breaking the EU laws. Coming to China, the company is now involved in a new lawsuit with the local clothing brand called KON. KON has the copyright of its logo which looks similar to the App Store logo in the current iOS and MacOS.
Back in August this year, Apple replaced the App Store logo consisting of pencil, ruler, and paintbrush with the new logo featuring three plain sticks (kind of) on iOS and MacOS. According to KON, the new logo of the App Store on iOS and MacOS is a clear violation of the Chinese copyright law.
