23 May 09 Cartier Sues and Retracts Supposed Apple Lawsuit

Call it a cast of being fickle-minded but that seems to be the best term to define this issue surrounding Cartier and Apple. Apparently, the luxury watchmaker had planned to sue Apple for infringement after apps made by the Digitopolis Game Studio appeared on the Apple App Store.

Filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the lawsuit claimed the applications give people the ability to tell time on the iPhone and iPod Touch with a display that simulates famous wristwatches.

And the reason for the lawsuit withdrawal? Simple. Apple took out the app and that was that. Now that wasn’t so hard was it? Alls well that ends well!
