Russian competition watchdog wants Apple to stop abusing its App Store power
A hot potato: Apple's tight control over the App Store has served it well over the years, both in winning users' trust and in attracting high profile apps to iOS.

Apple files countersuit against stereo headphone inventor Koss
In context: In a move that looked a lot like patent trolling, Koss sued Apple for allegedly infringing on its patents with several of its audio products. However, it may have sabotaged its own lawsuit by virtue of an agreement between the two companies, which is why Apple has filed a countersuit and is unlikely to settle.

Apple is 'bullying' small developer Prepear for using a pear in its logo
WTF?! It must be a slow day in Apple's legal department. The tech giant has filed a trademark lawsuit against a tiny app maker over the use of a pear in its logo. Yes, not an apple, a pear.
Apple filed a notice of opposition against app developer and fitness startup Super Healthy Kids over the logo the company uses for its Prepear recipe app. The company tried to register a trademark on its logo, but Cupertino said it too closely resembles Apple's branding and could create
