Koss sues Apple for patent infringement

Another day, another lawsuit. As noted by Patently Apple, headphone maker Koss is suing Apple for patent infringement. Allegations in the suit revolve around Koss development of the Striva line (pictured) of headphones.

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.
