>> When Eleftheriou rejected Apple, it refused to remove copycat and scam apps from the App Store.

I agree that scam apps should be removed, but why did he expects copycats to be removed?

If they infringe on his intellectual property rights they must normally be removed, I assume.

If he proves in the courts that they do, yes. Just because someone else has built another keyboard for the watch does not mean that any IP was infringed on.

OK then why was FlickType banned without a court order?

Because Apple doesn't allow keyboard apps on their devices.

Beside the IP the copycat kb apps are nefarious for the app store users but I get it, Apple does not care about its users, it just pretends to when it suits their interests...
