). CCI accused Apple of copying its app idea and emojis and infringing on its intellectual property rights., Vince Chhabria, the lawsuit judge, compared Apple's emojis with CCI's emojis and concluded that, overall, the emojis weren't similar enough for Apple to infringe. Chhabria also stated,"
Copyright law does not forbid all copying. To survive a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff must allege that the defendant copied enough of the protected expression ... to establish unlawful appropriation.According to Vince Chhabria, CCI didn't manage to prove that Apple had infringed on anything that was under copyright protection; therefore, Apple had only copied CCI's idea, and ideas are not subject to copyright law.

In this regard, Chhabria stated that CCI's emojis are 'entitled to only thin copyright protection against virtually identical copying.', Cub Club shared that the iDiversicons app was founded in 2013 by CCI CEO Katrina Parrott.
