Apple Wins Some, Adds Some

Posted by Gwyddia on December 3, 2008

As expected, Apple has amended its Complaint against computer seller Psystar. Psystar is a primarily online retailer who earlier this year introduced the “Hackintosh” – a non-Apple PC running Apple’s operating system. Apple’s original filing only alleged violation of the OS X End User Licensing Agreement, but this week they have added additional allegations of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The amendment includes copyright allegations against ten yet-unnamed defendants who will be identified and served during the course of discovery.

Apple also had a legal victory this week, in the courts of The People’s Republic of China. Chinese judges found for the American company against Shenzen-based New Apple Concept Digital Technology Co., Ltd. This case, also sounding in copyright, alleged that the Chinese company’s apple-based logo bore too much similarity to Apple’s own. The company has been ordered to pay 400,000 yuan (? US$58,000) to Apple, Inc. No word if Steve Jobs is eyeing up a new armada of Segways with his windfall.
