Apple sues man for repairing spoilt iPhones instead of making them buy new ones

Henrik Huseby owns a little phone repair store in Norway where iPhone owners repair their phones instead of buying new ones. Apple is suing him for $30000 and demanding he destroys all the phones he repaired.

Case currently at Norway Supreme court.

Despite initially losing the case last year, Apple is continuing its legal pursuit against the him. Apple is attempting to hold the repair shop owner liable for importing what it says are counterfeit iPhone screens into his home country of Norway.

Apple sent Huseby a letter notifying him that a shipment of 63 iPhone 6 and 6S screens had been seized by Norwegian customs, and said that he must pay the company $3,566 and admit wrongdoing to avoid being sued. Huseby refused, Apple sued him, and the case went to court.

The screens that Huseby purchased were refurbished, he said, and were never advertised as official Apple parts and were thus not counterfeit. In April 2018, the court decided that because the logos were not visible, Apple's trademark hadn't been violated, and Huseby won the case.
