Kerr & Wagstaffe Offers Comment on Class Action Suit Against Apple
Although Apple's Recent iCloud Data Sharing Platform Has Caused a Variety of Complaints From Consumers, a Recent Lawsuit Highlights the Company's "Misrepresentation" of the Service; Kerr & Wagstaffe, a California-Based Law Firm, Weighs in on the Debate
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/13/12 -- In today's telecommunication-dependent society, many professionals rely on their mobile devices and accounts to live up to the standards of current technology. Although many consumers of Apple products have lauded the company for besting its competitors in other markets, its recent introduction of its iCloud data sharing service has led to massive user disappointment. A recent from AppleInsider highlights these challenges that have resulted in a class action lawsuit against Apple for "misrepresenting" the connectivity capabilities of the iCloud service. Kerr & Wagstaffe, a law firm that has specialized in many class action suits, discusses what could be the deciding factor in this case.
The representatives at note that lawsuits involving businesses in the technology sector can be particularly complicated, especially when a case must fully lay out the details of a certain technology to a court. The firm recently displayed their prowess in this field in its landmark victory regarding the intellectual property of the widely-used WiFi Internet technology. For Apple, the complexity of the iCloud is founded in its ability to sync and share data among multiple accounts and devices. Previously, Apple users relied on a paid MobileMe service to similarly sync up documents, photos and data from e-mail and other online accounts.
In migrating to the iCloud platform, the article reports that numerous users have indicated difficulty in transitioning from the MobileMe application. The article cites the official complaint, "Throughout the migration, Apple failed to adequately ensure that features MobileMe users were paying for would be accessible, including access to their e-mail accounts for which customers pay additional fees. As a result, numerous MobileMe users suffered damage from the inability to access their individual accounts." In addition, those involved in the class action suit also claim that they have added to seek outside technical services to correct the migration issues.
While the iCloud continues to present connectivity issues for users and lack of attention from outside developers to implement the technology, many await to see how the court addresses the claims. Ivo Labar, partner at Kerr & Wagstaffe, comments on the validity of the suit, "As is the case with many disappointed-customer lawsuits, the plaintiffs' success in litigation all depends on whether customers were deceived by Apple's misrepresentations, and whether the consumers actually relied on the misrepresentations."
