BEIJING: A Chinese clothing company is suing Apple for copyright infringement of the Apple App Store logo, a court in Beijing said Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported. KON is demanding compensation of 100,000 yuan (about US$15,200), an injunction against infringing devices such as iPhones and iPads, as well as a public apology. Apple replaced the old logo, consisting of a pencil, ruler and brush, with the current one on its iOS and MacOS devices this year. KON said that the two logos look practically the same to the untrained eye of an ordinary customer. The company said the logo design was inspired by Johnny Rotten, lead vocalist of the British punk band The Sex Pistols.
