Novelty firm claims Microsoft copies its ads
Remember those Microsoft Windows 7 ads depicting smartphone addicts who can’t put down their gadgets long enough to get busy in the bedroom and the bathroom?
There’s the silver-haired executive type who ignores his camisole-clad wife and the guy who drops his sleek phone in a urinal (and then awkwardly picks it up again).
Well, a Boca Raton, Fla.-based novelty company claims they were stolen.
In a lawsuit filed this week with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Cellrderm alleges that Microsoft and Crispin Porter + Bogusky (the agency behind the ads) infringed upon the company’s copyrighted creative content.
