Apple accused of copying 68-year-old Swiss clock design
- USA: Monday, September 24 - 2012 at 09:44
Swiss railway operator SBB has said Apple Inc.'s new iOS 6 operating system infringes a trademarked design for clocks in Swiss rail stations, Bloomberg has reported. The updated software, introduced this month by Apple, includes a clock icon with black and red hands that uses an SBB design created in 1944, Reto Kormann, said a spokesman for the state-owned rail operator. SBB, which had allowed companies such as watchmaker Mondaine Watch to use the design under a licence, said that it's in discussions with Apple about a licence or a settlement that would allow the phone maker to use the image, and expects to resolve the issue in the next few days, Kormann said. "The money isn't in the front of our interests because we are proud that Apple took an SBB design," Kormann said. "If we have a cooperation agreement between two good brands, that's a win-win."
