Apple's lawyers finally going after Meizu, or so it seems
C'mon, let's all color ourselves shocked at once. It'll be fun. We
promise. If you've been calling the underside of a rock home for the past
decade or so, you may have missed out on a Chinese outfit by the name of
Meizu. For all intents and purposes, the company has done its darnedest to
copy Apple in every respect, particularly with the software on its M8 and
M9 smartphones. Strangely, we've never actually heard confirmation that
Cupertino's best lawyers were breathing down Meizu's neck... until now. As
the story goes, Meizu CEO Jack Wong's forum postings have been rather
tense of late, and one in particular seems to explain why: Apple's all up
in his grille. The details are hidden beneath a good bit of pent-up rage,
but what is clear is a mention of Apple's lawyers and their "unreasonable
negotiation tactics." In essence, Jack finds it absurd that Apple could
claim rights to the touchscreen smartphone form factor, and while Apple
could only serve a relative few in China, he (obviously) expects Meizu to
serve far more. We won't pretend to be sad on Jack's behalf -- we mean,
the guy had it coming -- but we can't shake the looming depression when
thinking of a world with no future Meizu devices to chuckle at. |
