Apple sued over its logo for recently introduced Siri Shortcuts

Another day, another lawsuit. A company called Shift is seeing Apple, claiming the tech giant rips off its logo for use with its own Siri Shortcuts, reports 9to5Mac

Shift, which uses blockchain tech to create websites, is asking that Apple “Stop infringing on our intellectual property” or pay $200,000, which it says will cover the cost to “rebrand using a world-renowned design firm.” The company blasts Apple for copying its logo despite it being such a “design oriented” company, notes 9to5Mac.

Siri Shortcuts are designed to deliver a new, faster way to get things done with the ability for any app to work with Siri. The personal digital assistant’s intelligence can suggest an action at just the right time. Users can customize Shortcuts by creating a simple voice command to kick off the task or download the new Shortcuts app to create a series of actions from different apps that can be carried out with a simple tap or customized voice command.
