Despite Patent Settlement, Apple Pulls Bose Merchandise From Its Stores

Posted by timothy on from the yanks-them-straignt-off dept.

Apple has long sold Bose headphones and speakers in its retail stores, including in the time since it acquired Bose-competitor Beats Audio, and despite the lawsuit filed by Bose against Apple alleging patent violations on the part of Beats. That's come to an end this week, though: Apple's dropped Bose merchandise both in its retail locations and online, despite recent news that the two companies have settled the patent suit.

    And the NFL isn't doing very well with their Beats women & children shenanigans either.

    Apparently, autosuggestion is a very powerful marketing tool. :)

    Admit it, Jane. You not only inhaled--you drank the bong water afterwards.
