The millet that just comes out 8 was without be concerned about to use with IPhone X same " bang screen " , look from the exterior especially, millet 8 with IPhone X honest too picture, so that release at the beginning of suffer fully spit groove. If from " bang screen " angle comes shape accuses millet to borrowed, millet the 8 carry out that be banned should be impossible.
Although " bang screen " the chamfer that be spat is ugly, but it is early a year ago, this " ugly " the design had been applied for by much home company patent.
In home, millet was on January 23, 2017 " bang screen " filed patent, and OPPO of brand of another homebred mobile phone is " bang screen " the time of patent application is earlier than millet ten days, for on January 9, 2017.
Under photograph comparing, IPhone X is in China " bang screen " before the time of patent application is later than two companies, for on April 28, 2017. But IPhone X applies for in the United States " bang screen " patent time wants earlier, for on November 1, 2016. But the reason with regional patent, the patent that IPhone X files in the United States disables in Chinese churchyard.
And, it is likewise " bang screen " design, the more than also millet that imitates IPhone X a 8 product, include OPPO R15, associate Z5 inside much money mobile phone used this one design, if the apple accuses millet with this shape really, be afraid still need more evidence to prop up.
Of course, to millet imitate, the apple also does not have turn a blind eye to, when should taking step, still move, for instance 2014, millet Ceng Xiangou alliance intellectual property bureau (EUIPO) applies for Mi Pad brand, this one practice objects by the apple, EUIPO respect also supports an apple, think Mi Pad can bring about consumer promiscuous, its mistake becomes malic product, undertook disallowance to the application of millet then.
Change an angle to look, millet is mixed in China the portion of the market such as India is very large, the position of smartphone domain is stabilized gradually, millet is right of IPhone X imitate also from another flank confirm malic product leads tide. In addition, from the point of price and consumer group level, apple and millet are right the consumer group administrative levels of mark somewhat difference, the competition between both also is done not have so apparent, so, the apple should not do it to millet really.
