Tech giant Incredibly, Apple claims it is the victim. A spokesperson said, “The truth is, these companies are blatantly copying our products or stifling competition by using invalid patents.”that Apple, the tech giant known for its innovative products and groundbreaking design, has been accused by more than two dozen executives, inventors, investors, and lawyers of stealing technology from smaller companies after engaging in discussions about potential partnerships or integration.
Numerous businesses have sued Apple on the grounds that the tech giant stole their intellectual property. The Justice Department is presently looking into whether Apple prefers its own goods above those created by independent developers. Additionally, Apple has been charged with trying to have more patent claims rejected before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board since 2012 than any other petitioner. It is becoming more and more difficult for smaller businesses to enforce patents, according to critics who claim that the patent system is biased in favor of powerful, long-standing corporations.
