If you were here several weeks ago, you would’ve known about this cool mod for iPhone 4 and 4S, ‘Luminescent Logo Mod Kit for iPhone 4/4S.’ This mod kit marketed by Chineseย companyย KO Gadgetย makes the Apple logo on the iPhone back plate to light up when ever the iPhone screen is on — if it’s properly installed. KO Gadget started selling this mod kit for $42 and then jacked up the price to $79. This company has nowย receivedย a notification from Apple requesting them t to cease all distribution andย marketingย of this product. This is what they posted on their Facebook page:
The website,ย http://store.kogadget.com/ย , is offering for sale and selling
merchandise bearing counterfeit Apple trademark(s). Such illegal use of Apple
Trademark(s) is a violation of federal and State trademark laws.
Apple sent the Chinese companyย a cease and desist order stating that they are sellingย counterfeit product with Apple trademarks.ย Althoughย Apple sent this order because of theย infringementย of its trademark, it’s likely being sent due toย safelyย reasons. When installing this kit, itย requiresย procedures that aren’t so safe to do.
