The company followed up with server configurations competing with Apple's Xserve and optionally running Mac OS X Server. In July, Apple launched legal action against Psystar, alleging copyright, trademark and trade dress infringement; trademark dilution; breach of contract; and unfair competition. Psystar filed a counterclaim against Apple under antitrust laws, but that didn't get them very far. Apple sought to have Psystar's countersuit dismissed, and the judge agreed that Psystar had failed to establish that there were distinct markets for Mac OS and Mac OS capable computers. Apple then revised its claim to allege that Psystar had illegally circumvented technological protection measures incorporated in Mac OS X - an assertion that was refuted by Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney Fred von Lohmann. |
