Atico International USA sued by Apple for patent and trademark infringement

Apple is targeting a maker of Apple iPod accessories.

The company has filed a lawsuit against Atico International USA claiming that the company infringes on their patents and trademarks.

Apple claimed in the lawsuit: “Atico manufactures and distributes various iPod accessories branded under the name ‘Living Solutions,’ which are sold online and nationwide in stores in Delaware and elsewhere, such as Walgreen’s and Happy Harry’s drug stores”.

The company added that these products are not authorized for them to be sold as accessories for their iPods.

Apple is known to charge the manufacturer a royalty on all official iPod accessories. Sources say that it used to be 10% but was later changed to USD 4 per unit.
