Ask HN: Someone ripped off my app, is there any recourse with Apple?

I built a simple Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tenromans.birthdaycake.free

And I discovered today that a developer has taken the graphics and rebuilt it for iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/make-birthday-cake/id469010303?mt=8

Frankly, that's the nature of the business. Things get copied all the time. But it also kinda sticks because the graphics and whatnot are my IP.

Is there any recourse with Apple to have them remove the app from the iTunes store?
