“Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s new iPhone operating system infringes a trademarked design for clocks in Swiss rail stations, according to state-owned railway operator SBB.  The iOS 6 software, introduced this month by Apple, includes a clock icon with black and red hands that uses an SBB design created in 1944, Reto Kormann, a spokesman for the Swiss rail operator, said by telephone today.  SBB, which has allowed companies such as watchmaker Mondaine Watch Ltd. to use the design under a license, said that it’s in discussions with Cupertino, California-based Apple about a license or a settlement.”
