Bamangalela iApple nge-2.000 yezigidi zeedola ngokuba umbono we-Apple Watch

I-Apple yeyona nkampani ibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, kodwa sinokuhlala sithi abayi kuphumelela kumatyala. Umfazi waseMichigan uye wamangalela uApple noNike Ixabisa i-5.000 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kuba uthi ezi nkampani zimbini zibile ingcamango yakhe yesixhobo esibizwa ngokuba yi-"Gym Shoe with Disposable Digital Sensor Alert" (ndicinga ukuba ebengacwangcisi ukuthengisa isixhobo phantsi kweli gama) ebhekisa Apple Watch kunye nenkqubo yeNike +.

Ummangali, ogama linguDaisy Washington-Gross, owafaka isimangalo sakhe nge-8 ka-Epreli, uthi wayenelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba u-Apple noNike bavelise ezabo iimveliso ezifanayo. Into ayicelayo yi-3.000 yezigidi kwi-Nike kunye ne-2.000 yezigidi ezivela kwi-Apple. Utsho njalo uDaisy wabhala ileta enombono wakhe kuRobert Lyden, owayekwiPatent kunye neInvention Aid, kunye noThomas Horgan, unobhala.

Njengobungqina bokuba uNike waphula ingcamango yakhe, uDaisy wanikezela ikhonkco apho ibonisa ukuba ungasika umngxuma kwezinye izihlangu ukufaka i-sensor ye-Nike +. Ngokuphathelele i-Apple, iWashington ithi inkampani ayizange imbize ngaphambi kokuba iqalise i-Apple Watch, isixhobo athi sibandakanya Iyonke ukubiwa kwenxalenye yoluvo lwe patent yakho.

Ingxaki kukuba akukho bungqina bokuba iWashington yenze nawaphi na amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza. Izizathu zinokuba zininzi kwaye zahluke. Into yokuqala ethi qatha engqondweni kukuba ileta yakhe ibingumbuzo nje, njengoko esitsho xa esithi "Ndandifuna ukubona ukuba ngaba u-Nike wayenazo naziphi na izihlangu ezilungele imidlalo ye-Olimpiki yowe-1996.«. Umbuzo awulolungelo lomenzi, kude nalo. Esinye isizathu sokuba kungabikho patent yakhe sisenokuba akazange ahlangabezane nazo zonke iimfuneko zokuyifumana, ngoko ayizange ivunywe. Kwaye yonke into ibonakala ibonisa ukuba le yimeko yokuzama Ukuchithwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza. Ndiyamsizela, kodwa andiqondi ukuba uza kuzuza nto.
