Court Sides With Apple Over Psystar

"After 17 months of litigation, the hammer has finally fallen on Psystar. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday granted Apple's request for permanent injunction against the Mac clone maker. This bars Psystar from peddling PCs with the Mac OS X operating system preinstalled, from circumventing the technological measures Apple uses to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X, and from assisting others in doing so."

The judge gave Psystar until midnight on December 31st, 2009 to comply with the ruling. However it wasn't a complete win or Apple, since the Rebel EFI program was not part of the judgement. It isn't a complete knock out, and the way this is going I don't expect Psystar to just roll over and play dead. I'm sure we will hear more about this, especially as the deadline approaches. You can read the entire judgement here.

"OPTi, a former semiconductor vendor that now exists to license its chipset intellectual property, last week received a US$21.7 million judgment against Apple in a ruling by Judge Chad Everingham in the Eastern District of Texas. In determining that Apple did not willfully violate OPTi's patent, the judge granted a $19 million infringement reward and an additional $2.7 million in pre-judgment interest."

Apple isn't the only one that is in OTPi's sights as they plan on going after AMD next. You can view the press release from OPTi here, and I'm sure this is no surprise, but Apple plans to appeal the ruling.
