AT&T drops Verizon lawsuit
In light of its inability to get an injunction to prevent Verizon from running commercials lambasting AT&T’s network, AT&T has decided to drop its lawsuit against the largest mobile carrier in the country. AppleInsider writes: In November, AT&T had asked the court to pull what it felt were “misleading” advertisements from Verizon, criticizing AT&T’s nationwide […]
Continue reading...Psystar halts sales of Mac clones, but did Apple let them off the hook?
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
Psystar yesterday stopped selling Mac clones via its website. Well, sort of. All of Psystar’s OSX-based systems were listed as out of stock on their website, and given that they’ve only sold 768 systems in about 19 months, I sincerely doubt their shelves are empty. But don’t think Psystar will be going down without a […]

Comments Off on Court rules that Psystar owes Apple $2.66 million in damages
Judge Alsup handed down a ruling on Monday stating that Psystar owes Apple $2.66 million in damages for infringing upon Apple’s OS X copyrights and violating provisions in the DMCA.. The $2.6 million figure is undoubtedly high, and is somewhat surprising because it’s higher than the $2.12 million figure actually requested by Apple. Still, Apple […]

Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Apple and Psystar have entered into a partial settlement agreement whereby Psystar will agree to pay a specified amount in statutory damages to Apple on the condition that Apple not exercise the right to receive those damages until after Psystar has exhausted the appeals process.

Comments Off on Apple acquires right to “TabletMac” trademark
Well this sure is pretty interesting. It turns out that Axiotron, a company that takes MacBook screens and transforms them into tablets, has relinquished the rights to the trademark, “TabletMac”, having transferred ownership of the trademark over to Apple on November 6, 2008. We should also point out that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak joined Axiotron’s […]

Comments Off on Apple files motion to have Psystar case in Florida dismissed or transferred
In the midst of the Apple/Psystar litigation in California, Psystar took the liberty this past August of filing a similar case in Florida which sought permission from the court to allow it to sell copies of Snow Leopard on non-Apple hardware. Now that Apple has already won its motion for Summary Judgment in California and […]

Comments Off on Apple seeks permanent injunction against Psystar; $2.12 million in damages
About two weeks ago, Judge Alsup granted Apple’s motion for Summary Judgment when he ruled that Psystar’s actions infringed on a number of Apple’s copyrights while also violating provisions in the DMCA. As such, Apple this week filed a motion seeking a permanent injunction which would prevent Psystar from selling OS X on non-Apple hardware […]

Comments Off on New AT&T commercial fires back at Verizon [Video]
It’s funny how a seemingly innocuous 30 second commercial about 3G cell coverage can ruffle so many feathers. 2 weeks ago, AT&T sued Verizon over a commercial which it claims paints an inaccurate and misleading picture regarding AT&T’s nationwide cellphone coverage. Earlier today, a Federal Judge denied AT&T’s request for an injunction that would have […]

Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Last Friday, Judge Alsup dealt Psystar a death blow when it granted Apple’s motion for Summary Judgment while at the same time denying Psystar’s own motion for Summary Judgment. Summary Judgment is essentially when a Judge dismisses an entire case, or specific issues in a case, because it lacks any evidentiary support. Now that we’ve […]

Comments Off on Psystar gets owned
As you might already be aware, Psystar recently lost a huge legal battle with Apple when Judge Alsup granted Apple’s motion for Summary Judgment while denying Pystar’s. The ruling reads in part: Psystar infringed Apple’s exclusive right to create derivative works of Mac OS X. Specifically, it made three modifications: (1) replacing the Mac OS […]

We’ve been following the ongoing legal battle between Psystar and Apple extremely closely here at Edible Apple, and this week should be a doozy with Judge Alsup scheduled to issue a ruling on both parties’ motions for Summary Judgment tomorrow. With D-day only one day away, the Broward/Palm Beach News recently ran an interesting 6-page […]

Thursday, November 5, 2009
This past August, embattled clonemaker Psystar filed a complaint in the state of Florida seeking a ruling from the court which would allow them to sell copies of copies of Snow Leopard on its own hardware. In addition, Psystar is also seeking an injunction against Apple that would preclude them from tying OS X to […]
