A Chinese clothing firm denounces Apple for using the same logo in the app store

With the arrival of iOS 11, the Apple operating system has undergone a series of aesthetic changes, especially in relation to some icons, icons that are now more stylized and clear. These slight changes have also reached macOS, such as the App Store icon, an icon that According to Asian clothing firm Kon, he has copied from their logo.

As usual, the Asian company demands financial compensation along with a public apology from the Cupertino-based company. If it were a "normal" company, the usual thing would have been for it to demand the removal of the logo in China simply, but of course, that does not attract sensational headlines.

This lawsuit, which was filed and accepted in a court in Beijing, shows us how the logo of this company is very similar to that of the Apple Applications store, where it is displayed three lines that form a triangle symbolizing the letter A, App.

If the complaint is finally confirmed and that the logo of this company is similar to that of the Apple application store, the Cupertino-based company would have to reach an agreement not to have to change the logo of these apps for the old one or for new one  it wouldn't be the first time Apple has faced such a problemSince a couple of years ago, he saw how a Chinese case manufacturer had the iPhone brand registered in his name, forcing Apple to scratch his pocket, and a lot, to be able to use that name in China in the country.

Although at the moment, we do not have much information about this lawsuit, it should not surprise us that patent trolls, would have expanded their jaws to other countries and in particular would like to cover other types of demandsNot only those related to technology, but this is a matter that we do not know at the moment and probably will not know until the trial is held, although at the moment the expected date has not been announced.
