Apple Under Fire as Chinese Industry Clames Apple Stole its Design for IPhone6

A Chinese company has accused Apple of copying its design for the iPhone 6. The Chinese company claims it has a design similar to the iPhone 6 which is protected by a patent.

 

100c is a Chinese smartphone sold under an obscure 100+ brand. Beijing Intellectual Property Office has already ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in Beijing as reported by Beijing Morning Post. This is because consumers may not be able to tell the difference between Apple’s design and the 100c’s.

 

Normally, Apple is the company that chases down Android smartphone makers for copyright infringement, but a tiny Chinese company has actually got the Beijing Intellectual Property Office to believe Apple is copied the company’s design.

We are yet to know the outcome but for now, Apple continues selling its product in China. This will continue till the outcome is determined.
