Apple expected to take legal action against ‘Mac-cloner’ Psystar; sues iPod accessory maker Atico

Apple has filed a patent infringement and trademark lawsuit against iPod accessories maker Atico International USA Inc. in which Apple claims Atico’s “Living Solutions” line-up infringes five Apple patents. “The allegedly infringing devices include Atico’s portable iPod speakers, an AM/FM portable boom box and an AM/FM alarm clock radio with iPod dock,” Ben Charny reports for Dow Jones Newswires.

Charny reports, “The lawsuit filed in a U.S. District Court in Delaware asks for an injunction against selling the devices, which are now available online and at Walgreens and other major retailers.”

“Apple is also expected to take legal action soon against Florida-based Psystar Ltd., which sells computers based on Apple’s Macintosh software in violation, it’s widely suspected, of Apple’s software licensing terms,” Charny reports.
