The RATP is the author of the Paris Metro map and the owner of corresponding French design registration (INPI deposit n06 5325 Nov. 17th 2006). French and International law on copyright as well as French law on Design thus protect this map. Moreover, the RATP is the owner of the trademark # (INPI deposit n92402043 January 21st 1992). The RATP is concerned with the application "Check my metro" proposed for downloading by the publisher LittleSphere on the App Store and the iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/checkmymetro-paris/id377667449?mt=8#) since we did not authorize any reproduction or distribution of the said design and trademark. Moreover, this app embeds the traffic information of our wap site without prior authorization which constitutes an infringement on our rights as producer of database conferred by the French law. Such reproductions and diffusions may then be considered as counterfeiting acts, and the RATP is entitled to enforce its rights within the French jurisdictions. Consequently, we ask you to remove the application "Check my metro" by LittleSphere of the App Store and iTunes and to inform the publisher in the same way. We look forward to reading from you, Yours faithfully, Xxxxx XXXXX-XXXXXX RATP - Dpartement Juridique
