A few days ago, Apple was informed by a Japanese company, Emonster, because in the advertising of iPhone X, Apple used the word Animoji, and an app owned by Emonster, also called this name, also registered a trademark in the United States.
Emonster's Animoji is also an emoticon software, but unlike Apple's real-time simulation of user emoticons, Emonster has a series of emoji emoticons preset for users, which are two completely different types. However, Emonster has "Animoji" in the United States Because of the trademark right of this name, the Japanese company has now formally sued Apple. Because the two have a certain degree of similarity in function, and both exist in the ecosystem of iOS, the court is likely to rule that one of them will be removed or renamed.
If so, Apple may force Animoji to remove from the App Store. During the development of iOS, many functional apps cannot continue to survive because of the gradual improvement of iOS, so they have to find another way out. Emonster's act is also commendable. What will be the result?
