Submission + - Luxpro sues Apple for damages and "power abuse
Dystopian Rebel writes: The Financial Times reports that Taiwanese company Luxpro (discussed on Slashdot last year) intends to sue Apple for US$100 m for "lost revenue caused by Apple's abuse of their global power." In 2005, Apple had obtained an injunction against Luxpro's Super Shuffle/Super Tangent but the Taiwanese Supreme Court has overturned the injunction, opening the door to Luxpro's legal action.
From the article: "The {Luxpro} product had almost the same measurements and weight, came in a white plastic casing and had similar buttons on the front. Its name, Super Shuffle, also closely resembled the original."
The Luxpro product has OLEDs on it but visit your optometrist immediately if you don't see other similarities.
Apple has since changed the design of the Shuffle significantly.
