The lawsuit claims that the Cupertino, California-based company infringes on five patents. “Koss has been damaged as a result of the infringing conduct by Apple,” Apple says. “Thus, Apple is liable to Koss in an amount that compensates it for such infringement, which by law cannot be less than a reasonable royalty.”
Koss Corporation is an American company that designs and manufactures headphones. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 1958, the company invented the first high fidelity stereophones.
