In a lawsuit filed recently in West Palm Beach, Florida<\/a>, the tech<\/a> giant said the software company Corellium<\/a> has copied the operating system, graphical user interface and other aspects of the devices without permission and wants a federal judge to stop the violations.
Apple<\/a> said it supports “good-faith security research,” offering a $1 million “bug bounty” for anyone who discovers flaws in its system. Corellium, the iPhone maker said, goes further than that.
The complaint
“Although Corellium paints itself as providing a research tool for those trying to discover security vulnerabilities and other flaws in Apple’s software, Corellium’s true goal is profiting off its blatant infringement,” Apple said in the complaint. “Far from assisting in fixing vulnerabilities, Corellium encourages its users to sell any discovered information on the open market to the highest bidder,” it said.
Corellium, in a posting dated July 4 on its website, said it “respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same”. The Florida-based start-up couldn’t immediately be reached for comment on the suit.
Enough is enough
Corellium’s products allow the creation of a virtual Apple device, according to the suit. It copies new versions of Apple works as soon as they are announced, and doesn’t require users to disclose flaws to Apple, the Cupertino, California-based company said in the complaint.
Apple said “enough is enough” when it comes to Corellium advertising its products, including ones that compete with the Apple Developer Program, according to the complaint.
“Corellium is indiscriminately marketing the Corellium Apple Product to any customer, including foreign governments and commercial enterprises,” Apple said. “Corellium is not selectively limiting its customers to only those with some socially beneficial purpose.\n
