Apple has stripped Monster of its license to make certified Apple accessories following a lawsuit the company filed against Beats Electronics in January, reports the WSJ. Monster has been making Apple accessories since 2005 under the MFi (Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad) program and some of its products have been sold in Apple Stores.Monster’s general counsel David Tognotti said Noreen Krall, Apple’s chief litigation counsel, told him that their agreement was being terminated, effective May 5, because the relationship between the two companies is no longer “mutually beneficial” in the wake of Monster’s lawsuit. According to Mr. Tognotti, Ms. Krall said the suit would “destroy the working relationship” between Apple and Monster.Monster is allowed to sell its accessories as MFi approved through September but had to stop making new ones.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
