We're all familiar with the fact that Apple has trouble managing its App Store. While it is overflowing with applications, Apple governs it willy-nilly, and the web is rife with stories from developers who had their application rejected for no apparent reason. There's now a new issue we can add to the list. Are you an iPhone developer? Do you want a similar, competing application out of the App Store? All you need to do is send an infringement claim to Apple, and they'll happily threaten to remove the competing application without a second thought. Update: And here's a similar case, about Stoneloops! vs. Luxor.

Maybe it's time someone really spams the process, filing lots of different complaints against all sort of games. Maybe then people realize how shitty this process is. I also wonder if the people in question don't have a case here (unfair competition, trade practices...). I guess it's time for someone to stand up to the bullies.
