Overview
- Reincubate, maker of the Camo iPhone-as-webcam app, filed a lawsuit claiming Apple copied its technology with the 2022 launch of Continuity Camera.
- The complaint alleges infringement of patents covering capturing video on one device and processing it for display on another.
- Reincubate also claims Apple used control of its operating systems and App Store to disadvantage Camo and steer users to an Apple-only feature.
- The filing seeks an injunction to prevent termination of Reincubate’s developer license, which Apple’s terms say can occur when a developer sues the company.
- Apple has not publicly commented on the lawsuit in the coverage cited.
