It has been reported that Cupertino-based Apple is being sued for an iPhone video game entitled "ParkingLot". It has been alleged that this game, which requires players to move around cars in a parking lot in order to release a blocked-in car, resembles a 1977 brain-teaser entitled "Lots of Luck" ("Lots"). The puzzle master behind Lots is reportedly suing Apple on the basis of copyright infringement, claiming that Apple should not have approved the game in the first place.
