Apple threatens legal action over Steve Jobs action figure (Digital Trends)
Thursday, 05 January 2012
Digital Trends - While the Steve Jobs action figure is certainly a novel idea, Apple isn’t too happy about the creation of the figure and sent Chinese company In Icons a cease-and-desist letter that threatens legal action if the company attempts to sell the action figures. The $99 12-inch figurine comes dressed in a black turtleneck as well as jeans typical to Steve Jobs wardrobe when giving presentations at Apple press events. The kit also comes with different accessories to replicate the presentations as well. Apple is claiming that it owns the rights to Jobs’s likeness and any attempt to create and sell a figure using that likeness is a criminal offense.Â
