Apple company company Pays Up 16 Million Bucks for iPad’s Clock; Swiss Railways Cashes Within.

If you remember the slight scandal between Apple and the Swiss Railways, based on the concept that Apple “stole” their check out symbol for iOS 6. 0, then you definitely probably know that it ended well. Apple and Swiss Railways reached a deal to give the trademark clock borrowed to your Cupertino giant. And now we now have a price for that financial transaction: 16. 5 million dollars.
Neither Apple nor the Railways wanted to comment on the matter. To give you some background, on September 21st Swiss Railways have realized that Apple had reproduced without having permission its famous clock with digital format on iOS 6. 0, for the iPad. On October 12th, they sought an incentive for it and the story was kept clear of the public or blogs, who could have tried to blow it from proportion. Considering there are 100 million iPads on the market, the amount of $16. 5 million is really pretty tiny.

Apple’s clock is also the one of Mondaine, a Swiss company that creates clocks following the pattern connected with Swiss Railways, so matters may get more complicated and Apple may have to pay… again. The Apple CEO claims which he found the clock pattern on the list of real life models sold with USA, or the one showcased with the Museum of Modern Art in The big apple.
