Apple Inc.’s new iOS 6 operating system infringes a trademarked design for clocks in Swiss rail stations, according to state-owned railway operator SBB.
The updated software, introduced this month by Apple, includes a clock icon with black and red hands that uses an SBB design created in 1944, Reto Kormann, a spokesman for the Swiss rail operator, said by telephone today.
