Hooray for fake drama news. Apple apparently invented the fingerprint now.
These are the type of people who live their lives plagiarizing and get through life stealing. They defend copying because they're too cheap to buy an iPhone or brand name goods.
What an obvious rip off!! What gives it away is the round logo. They could have at least finished the rest of the print to make it look slightly different.
Still not as bad as android which is basically Apple's shadow.
Yeah, obviously the graphic designer took the Apple TouchID logo, mirrored it and made some slight adjustments. It's clear what source image the lazy designer used here and not even tried to cover it up. Well, China, western IP is considered more or less public domain...
He's not insane. Actually, Apple did not create the Touch ID icon. It is a public domain stock image. Apple did not create the look of a simulated fingerprint. You can obtain the free use image from shutterstock.com.
Well, Apple is not the only victim here, that university copied Tokyo university's video and claim that it's their own creativity for their anniversary celebration , what a shame
I find it hilarious and sad that companies world wide offer China money to manufacture goods for them. China turns a gigantic profit and in turn steals the design and flogs it off to the world making more money. Other nations have felt economic pressure to accept international intellectual patent 'law' but not China. Unlike the USSR and Cuba, China is a communist country America (and the world, though America was the staunchest on communism) loves to do business with. Reap what you sow.
How do you think China became a world power so quickly? They were a country of peasants in the 1950s but by copying the methods of western nations they were able to raise themselves to the level of a modern first world power in a very short time. The US sending all of their manufacturing jobs to them also contributed to the acceleration of that process. One might praise them for their determination or criticize them for ignoring others' intellectual property, but nevertheless they are now a country to contend with as they flex their economic and military strength.
i remember the asian students in art school would do this. they claimed their culture doesn't view copying as wrong.
is anyone aware of any studies on this? i wonder if patent infringement—as it is defined int he west—is the same in asian countries. are they as vigilant about patent infringement within their own country (ies). if so, what are their criteria?

Yes, because China has no Constitution or Bill of Rights respecting the individual and property ownership, which includes copyrights and trademarks.

And NO it's not a real fingerprint.
*facepalm*

And Coca-Cola didn't invent the letters C, O, A, and L (or the hyphen) so the world is free to use it for any purpose.
We'e been down this road before. Many times. Reductio ad absurdum anyone?
True, but it's still pretty damn close. They could have chosen a different type of fingerprint. Why choose one similar to the one Apple used?
It's not the same image. Aside from being reversed, it's not the same width strokes, different break locations, different curves, etc.
Just because they made a couple of minor tweaks does not mean it is not the same image.
Then you don't know the meaning of the word 'same'. Similar yes, the same no.

bears a striking resemblance to Apple's Touch ID emblem, spurring accusations of copyright infringement against the Shanghai-based school.
Accusations by whom, AI?
You serious? The curves, gaps, spacing are the same if the flip the copy. If this was text, it'll be plagiarism.

Correct.
