Apple attacks iPhone knockoff

Meizu, known for its iPhone look-alike mobile phones (although it is but one of several dozen), has decided to stop selling its M8 phone following pressure from Apple and China’s Intellectual Property Office. The Intellectual Property Office threatened to shut down Meizu’s production facilities.
Meizu CEO Jack Wong is claiming that Apple is now pressuring him to stop selling the remaining M8 inventory. Halting sales, he claims, would drive his franchise store owners out of business.
The M8 looks much like the iPhone 4, complete with a Home screen button and iPhone-like app icons. However, it runs a version of Microsoft Windows for mobile devices.
The MacObserver reports Jack Wong is ready to fight Apple in court if necessary, but won’t likely push too hard since the Intellectual Property Office has the authority to close down his factories without a court order.
