Mac Cloner Psystar Countersues Apple
Recently Apple has sued Psystar for making a clone of the Apple Macintosh which run modified versions of the Mac OS X Leopard. Now Psystar is countersues Apple for violating two federal antitrust laws, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act. Psystar says that its OpenComputer product is shipped with a fully licensed copy of Mac OS X using open source technology.
Apple said, “by misappropriating Apple’s proprietary software and intellectual property for its own use, Psystar’s actions harm consumers by selling to them a poor product that is advertised and promoted in a manner that falsely and unfairly implies an affiliation with Apple.”
Apple is also asking for a recall of Psystar machines and also asking the court to recover unspecified damages.
