Lawsuit summary


For my lawsuit, I will be summarizing the lawsuit between Apple Inc. and Fei Lik Lam and his parents about Lams website business called whiteiphone4now.com.
                Apple filed a lawsuit against Lam and his parents for infringement on their trademarks and selling of their products without their permission. Lam had gotten white iPhone parts that were still being developed by someone he knew who was working at apple. He was getting the parts and selling them to people all over through his website.
                Apple asked for an injunction keeping the Lams from any further sales. Also to forfeit all the profits made from selling the iPhone 4 parts and other penalties as well.  Needless to say, Apple won the case and the Lam’s had to pay all the penalties listed above.
                My view on this is that you don’t mess with Apple. They are very serious about the use of their trademark.
