The judge handling the lawsuit between Apple and Psystar just access the application from Cupertino, which represents a serious blow to Mac clone.

Apple 1 Psystar 0

Apple and Psystar had asked the judge to rule quickly, thus avoiding the extension of the procedure. We know now that this decision has been very favorable to Apple and marks the end of Psystar.

The company is primarily guilty of copyright infringement as it is now clear that Psystar made DVD copies of Mac OS X that was installed on some machines which were delivered without the installation disk. Contrary to what he had said he did not buy all copies from Apple.

The judge also found that the company had been wrong to change the operating system that does not belong to him by replacing certain files and breaking some protections so that Mac OS X run on machines that did not hit a Apple, which would be a violation of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to protect digital intellectual property. The court did not mention the sale of Rebel EFI, probably because Psystar has put its software on the market after the close of the proceedings to collect the evidence constituting the record.

The court finally dismissed Psystar accusing Apple of abuse of laws protecting intellectual property, explaining that the firm does not prevent the development or sale of third-party operating system.

It's not over yet

This decision does not mark the end of disputes between the two companies. A jury will decide on other matters of law, such as problems of breach of contract or violations of trademarks and the issue of abuse of dominance by Apple. Psystar also expected resolution of the trial that he filed against Apple in Florida and covers the sale of machinery boarding Snow Leopard.
