Chinese clothing brand sues Apple for stealing its logo for the App Store

Apple is being sued for its App Store logo by a Chinese clothing brand called Kon that has a similar logo, reports Phone Radar. Kon, according to China’s Wikipedia equivalent Baidu Baike, is a clothing brand founded in 2009 based on the Sex Pistols’ Anarchy In The UK. The triangle is supposed to be skeleton bones that symbolize power over death. 
Apple changed its App Store logoback in August from a paintbrush, pencil, and a ruler, to three sticks with rounded ends that overlap each other to form a triangle. Kon’s logo looks similar, but the ends are sharp rectangles. 
The Chinese clothing brand says it owns the trademark to its logo and Apple’s new App Store logo used on iPhones and macOS is a violation of Chinese copyright law. Kon is demanding Apple publicly apologize and pay damages.
The Beijing People’s Court has accepted the case, according to Phone Radar. However, since Chinese courts don’t upload every case seen, the Kon case is not currently listed on the court website. Phone Radar expects that the judgment can come in over the next few weeks. Apple has dealt with a lot of lawsuits over this past year against the likes of Qualcomm, Samsung, and Corephotonics. Last year, it lost the trademark for the word “iPhone” to a Chinese vendor of leather goods.

In the name of transparency, Google has released another Android security report (officially, the Android Ecosystem Security Transparency Report) that details many aspects of exactly how secure different parts of the Android ecosystem are, and how often they're being exploited in the real world. The goal is of course to show that Android is very secure purely based on the numbers Google collects — and it has no qualms about showing off its data, because it looks really good. We hear a lot about Android vulnerabilities that affect "millions" or "billions" of devices, but Google hits us with the hard numbers that show the reality of the situation: very few phones have so-called PHAs (potentially harmful applications) installed, and even fewer are actively exploited by those PHAs. In the first year of the report, 2014, the number of Android phones with PHAs sat at 1%, but that number has declined significantly — now in 2018, just 0.08%  of Android phones installing...

Google focuses on making ecommerce safer with the launch of Chrome 71

Image
If you’re using the Chrome browser, Google will begin to warn you if a website is trying to bill you without being upfront about the terms. The feature will begin to arrive in December with the launch of Chrome 71, with Google flagging you when a website has unclear mobile billing practices. This means that if you’re shopping on a reputable retailer, like Amazon.com  or your favorite department store, from your Chrome browser on your smartphone or tablet, you likely won’t get any annoying flags. However, if you’re visiting a site that tries to bill your phone number for a subscription disguised as a one-off fee, Google will alert you in its efforts to help make ecommerce clearer and safer for all consumers. Google claims that the new feature is designed to deter websites merely asking for phone numbers from web visitors to their page, and later tacking on a charge — without the user’s knowledge or consent — to the mobile carrier associated with the phone number in a practice known ...
