FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A group of 22 Chinese authors claimed Apple was infringing upon their copyrights by offering pirated e-book versions of their work on its App Store platform, Press TV reports.
Last month, the Chinese State Council mapped out work outline on IPR and the government now plans to launch a nationwide campaign to stamp out IPR violations of trademarks, copyrights, patents and counterfeit products.
According to the latest figures, national administrative law enforcement agencies investigated 78,773 cases of piracy and IPR infringement in the first four months of this year, estimated to be worth 1.81 billion Yuan.
While China is accusing Apple for IPR infringement, the American Chamber of Commerce in China waits for no moments to claim that China’s intellectual property rights situation has actually deteriorated in recent years.
“China was the number one source of counterfeit products that were seized at the United States border last year,” Claims the chamber of commerce on its official website, adding that despite stronger statutory protection, China continues to be a haven for counterfeiters and pirates.
The tech heavyweight has also been the target of criticisms and lawsuits for its discriminatory policies.
In a blatant act of racism, Apple store employees in the US and Australia refused to sell any products to Iranian customers, saying they followed the company’s official policy.
In May 2011, two African-American men dragged the company into the court alleging of racial discrimination against them at an Apple Store in Manhattan.
The duo filed a federal law suit against Apple after a Caucasian Apple employee allegedly asked them to leave the store only because of their skin color.
