The South African company Gradiente sold in Brazil now a smartphone with Android operating system under the name iPhone. And the way it looks, it's all above board: The brand name was applied in 2000, it took its time only.
Apple is usually quite fit, as far as the protection of its brand names and designations. In addition, the lawyers put the company acquired the rights from quite generous - and sometimes even sue cafes and other unrelated vendors with "dangerous" logos. In Brazil, however, they have apparently slept: There is now the manufacturer has Gradiente under the name iPhone a smart phone with Android as operating system.
Gradients have been in the sales of smartphones iPhone dispensed under the brand because the company initially wanted to implement an internal restructuring. This is now complete and apparently now the company is focused on selling the iPhone. They would have the right to this mark with "all necessary measures" to enforce.
Gradiente sees himself in the right, because it is Apple with the registration of the brand name - is pre-empted. Gradiente had requested the iPhone trademark in 2000 and had the property right obtain the 2008th Apple came - but initially only in the U.S. - in the summer of 2007 with the iPhone on the market.
The sale runs from Tuesday. The offered model costs 599 Brazilian real (219 Euros converted right) and has a certain resemblance to Apple's external competitive product. The "Brazil-iPhone" has a 3.7-inch capacitive touch screen, which resolves 320 by 480 pixels, a processor of unknown origin with a 700 MHz clock and with 2 GB of internal storage is provided.
This quad-band phone weighs 130 grams and is 11.7 millimeters thick. Facilities include two cameras (5 and 0.3 megapixels), wlAN, GPS, Bluetooth to expand the storage by up to 32 GB.
According to the Brazilian law gradient may now sell iPhone in 2018 under the brand their own smartphones. When iPad Gradiente has not slammed apparently: It offers even tablets on, but under the name "Oz Black Tab 810".
Apple, there are to the facts as already-almost anything that affects the company - even a comment. It is also unclear whether or not is maybe even try Gradiente to prohibit Apple smartphone for sale with the name iPhone in Brazil.
