Apple won against the clone maker company Psystar. This is an important judgement in the on-going lawsuit. The federal judge in San Francisco ruled that Psystar had violated Apple’s copyright and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The Judge William Alsup might have signed the death of Psystar by granting Apple’s motion (copyright-infringement action) while denying Psystar’s counterclaims.
However, the battle between Apple and Psystar is not finished and following claims remain for trial: (1) breach of contract; (2) induced breach of contract, (3) trademark infringement; (4) trademark dilution; (5) trade dress infringement; and (6) state unfair competition under California Business and Professions Code § 17200; and (7) common law unfair competition.
