“Mac clone manufacturer Psystar said that Apple’s copyright suit against it should be dismissed because Apple has never filed for copyright protection for its Mac OS X operating system with the U.S. Copyright Office, according to court papers,” Paul McDougall reports for InformationWeek.
“The stunning claim, if true, could undermine Apple’s ability to restrict third parties, such as Psystar, from selling clones that run the Mac OS on generic PC hardware. InformationWeek was not immediately able to verify the claim,” McDougall reports.
“Psystar made the allegation in documents filed last week in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, as part of its response to Apple’s latest charges of copyright infringement,” McDougall reports.
“Last month, a judge rejected Psystar’s counterclaim — leading Psystar to file revised claims. Psystar is now asking the judge overseeing the case to declare Apple’s Mac OS copyrights invalid,” McDougall reports. “In court filings, Apple has said it believes Psystar is backed by a silent third party that’s presumably seeking to enter the Mac market.”

Buncha retards grasping at straws now. Don’t these lawyers have any shame?
Oh, wait…. (I can’t believe I just said that)
@ Regular Reader & Gabriel,
I can think of one other company that would try this kind of legal shenanigans. They probably still have some money because they filed Chapter 11 for legal protection against creditors just before summary judgment against them in a “legal issue” with IBM. My guess is that it is a desperate attempt to find a revenue source before they emerge from Chapter 11 & get body slammed. Their CEO has made a career out of suing other companies for a living. Of course, I don’t have any evidence. It just sounds like something Daryl McBride & SCO would do.
Bill Gates is the silent backer
So they claim Apple don’t own the copyright for Mac OSX 10.5 or previous. I think Apple do.
Also a previous registration was 2006,TX-6-325-148…….Find 10.5 here http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=49&ti=26,49&Search_Arg=apple inc&Search_Code=NALL&CNT=25&PID=81YpC7-8LoXymoU9xlpfdKaqm6u&SEQ=20081228025246&SID=1 or simple search by name for apple inc. Give up Psystar.
