Psystar will fight Apple’s lawsuit

by Michael Goonan on Jul 31, 2008 at 06:00 PM

Psystar Open ComputerA couple weeks ago I reported that Apple was finally suing Psystar, the small Florida-based computer company that had been selling Mac-clone “Open Computers,” a practice Apple says is in direct violation of the Mac OS X software license agreement.

Psystar responded by saying that Apple was actually making money out of the deal because they purchase every copy of Leopard from the Apple Store at the full retail price.

Now, Psystar has hired a law firm that has beaten Apple before, Carr & Ferrell LLP. The Palo Alto, CA based law firm represented Burst.com in a patent infringement case that it filed against Apple in 2006. Apple ended up having to pay Burst $10 million in order to license its audio and video streaming patents.

Psystar liquidation: Mac clone company HQ for sale

by Indraneel Purohit on Jul 21, 2008 at 12:46 PM

openmacPsystar, makers of Macintosh clones, were recently sued and mugged by Apple. Now, the company is selling their headquarters, which is essentially a large warehouse in Doral, Florida, for $4.6 million. The property, however, is owned by Constructora Canahuati, which have no connection to Psystar. The 47,000 square foot structure is “priced for quick sale” at a price of $97.65 per square foot. The company was originally based in Miami, but soon moved to Doral.

Maybe this will help pay for Psystar’s severe losses.

Apple to Psystar – Your products, please.

by Indraneel Purohit on Jul 16, 2008 at 06:15 PM

psystarIn a rather speedy conclusion to the suit Apple brought against Mac-cloning company, Psystar, Apple wants to recall all of the clones that Psystar has sold. The suit, filed July 8th, brought eight claims of copyright infringement, breach of contract, trademark and trade infringement, and unfair competition. A mass product recall such as this will undoubtedly make the company go bankrupt, and, to add insult to injury, Apple wants any and all profits Psystar has made.

Now, please, cover your eyes for the brutal beating Psystar is about to receive. Moral of the story? Don’t cross His Steveness.

We knew it would happen; Apple sues Psystar

by Michael Goonan on Jul 15, 2008 at 04:38 PM

Psystar Open ComputerWhen Psystar started shipping their Open Computer in April, most in the tech industry thought it wasn’t a matter of if, but when, Apple would sue them. Apple has always been very protective of their license that only allows Mac OS X to be run on Apple hardware, and will argue in court that the Open Computer, which can run Mac OS X, is in direct violation of that license agreement.
