According to the Bangkok Post, Thai cable television company CTH is suing Apple for $3 million, for selling an app that violates its exclusive rights to the EPL.

The report added that CTH has also filed criminal charges against Apple Inc. and Apple Thailand with a Thai court that specialises in international trade and intellectual property disputes.

The app, available on the App Store and made by a Thai developer, allows mobile devices and tablet computers to access EPL matches, added the report.

“This app has caused huge damage to us because it has also affected contracts we have with other telephone companies,” legal advisor Paiboon Amonpinyokeat said, reported the Bangkok Post. “It’s a contributory copyright infringement. We filed a civil case seeking 100 million baht ($3.1 million) in compensation,” he said, adding that legal action has also been taken against the app’s Thai developer, said the report.
