Apple responds to Psystar's appeal over lawsuit against Mac clones

It has been a long time since we heard any mention of a legal dispute between Apple and Mac clone maker Psystar, but we already know that an appeal was filed by Apple after losing the final judgment. Although the appeal documents were kept secret, Apple recently made public its response to the case, predicting that its rival will have trouble getting the right to make PCs again with Mac OS X installed.

An explanation given by Apple's legal department suggests that Psystar has no evidence that it is being the victim of repressive competition, which would make it impossible to accept its appeal unless it succeeds in forcing changes in the way justice deals with copyright in the US. United States. Due to the fact that Psystar has no evidence that Apple has impeded competitiveness or suppressed creativity, it asks the Court of Justice to abandon previous legislation and create a new doctrine to address the misuse of copyright, says the document. Apple.

Due to the court order prior to this appeal, the former Mac clone maker was banned from pre-installing Mac OS X on its PCs manufactured in the US state of Florida, in addition to selling software capable of stimulating users and / or other companies to this type of attitude. It is not yet known when the justice will hear the two companies again and judge Psystar's appeal, but it is likely that this will not happen yet.
