Apple unveiled the iPhone X last month that captured quite a hype. While the flagship smartphone featured various upgrades and enhancements in terms of both hardware and functionality, the most gimmicky is the Animoji, which is animated emoji. The feature basically mimics your facial actions and turns it into animated emoji. However, a Japanese software company has sued Apple in the United States court over the trademark for the ”animoji” term. The company states that Apple stole the name and used it as one of the features in iPhone X. So let’s dive in to see some more details on the subject.

Apple announced the headline feature on iPhone X last month. The developer of the app claims that the Cupertino-based technology company was aware of his trademark. This is because the application rested on the iOS App Store since 2014. In addition to this, Apple also tried to purchase the name. The App Store page for the Animoji app shows that the application was updated in September 2014.
