Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has become one of the companies with the most active lawsuits annually, and a new one has just been filed in India by a smartphone company that has trademarked the name crease. The company has already submitted a petition to the Indian government agency that registers patents and trademarks asking it to invalidate the trademark registered for the name iPhone and in the alternative to ban the sales of these terminals in the country.
iVoice Company recorded the name iPhone in 2007, after the presentation of the first model of iPhone and brand crease was supposed to be an acronym for the name India Phone. The iFon brand was registered in May 2007, with Apple launching the first iPhone model in the country in 2009 through the Vodafone operator, iVoice losing support from investors who didn't think it had any chance of defending itself against a lawsuit to cancel her own brand.
Because iVoice has lost all its support due to Apple, now it and compensation from Apple, but considering that the iPhone trademark was registered almost 1 year before the one for iFon, it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve ,
