The iPhone X’s “Animoji” feature lets people transform their face into customised moving emoji with the help from Apple’s face recognition technology “FaceID”.
In the lawsuit filed in a US federal court, Emonster said: “Apple made the conscious decision to try to pilfer the name for itself.”
“The lawsuit alleges that beca use both the Animoji app and the iPhone X feature are on Apple’s platforms, and because they both involve moving animation, the court should rule one out,” The Verge reported late Friday.
According to the lawsuit, Apple was aware of Emonster’s trademark because the app is available in the Apple Store. The
Emonster app costs $0.99 on Apple iTunes.
