Luxury watchmaker Cartier International has sued Apple Inc., saying the electronics giant is offering software that infringes on its designs without authorisation. The trademark lawsuit was filed on Friday in federal court in Manhattan. It sought a stop to the practice and unspecified damages. Cartier said in the lawsuit that Apple is offering for sale, via its iTunes store, products that use the Cartier trademarks. It said the applications enable customers to display time on the iPhone and iPod Touch. The watch manufacturer said it never authorised Apple to use images that look like its watches on the software. A message left with Apple for comment was not immediately returned.
