It was just a matter of time. Apple has sued Psystar, the company that for months has been selling the Open Computer, a Mac clone, reports CNET. The article says Apple is suing the company for violating its intellectual property rights.
The suit was filed July 3 in U.S. District Court in Northern California. Although the action is listed in the federal court’s electronic filing system, the complaint itself is not available, notes CNET.
Psystar announced on April 14 that it was planning to ship a US$399 expandable tower that is a “Leopard compatible Mac built from standard PC-parts and taking advantage of the osx86project to accomplish the task.” And last month the company announced a line of OpenServe rack-mount servers compatible with server operating systems such as Mac OS X Leopard Server, Microsoft Server 2003/2008, CentOS and Ubuntu Server.
