Apple Sues Amazon Over AppStore Trademark
Apple filed a lawsuit against Amazon in federal court on Friday. The lawsuit, filed in California, accuses Amazon of violating Apple’s trade mark on the phrase “App Store”. Apple is seeking a restraining order to prevent Amazon from using the “App Store” name. Apple is also suing for damages.
According to the complaint, “Amazon has begun improperly using Apple’s App Store mark in connection with Amazon’s mobile software developer program”.
Apple is partially right in that Amazon has been using this term.
