Logitech in hot water for stealing iPad Joystick design
Engadget is reporting that Logitech is going all-in on the iDevice accessories market. The latest release is an iPad joystick that looked…familiar.
Logitech is not only copying the exact design of Ten One Design’s Fling Joystick, in many cases, they’re copying the marketing images used to sell the product.
Which, of course, led me to wonder if maybe Logitech had simply purchased the rights to re-brand the Fling? Perhaps Logitech bought Ten One Design, outright?
Ten One Design’s Ashley Skinner responded to my questions and — apparently not:
Thanks for writing in. We are working with our legal team on an official response, but until that is prepared, we’re unable to comment.
I can’t see a scenario in which Logitech gets away with this, but it looks like, at least, they’re going to have to try.
