Psystar claims Apple has invalid Mac OS X copyright
In an aggressive response, unofficial Mac clone builder Psystar has made a controversial claim that Apple doesn’t legally own the US rights to protect Mac OS X, invalidating a major component of its lawsuit.
The addition to Psystar’s mounting defense was filed last week in the Northern District of California San Francisco court playing home to the legal entanglement.
In its new submission, the Florida-based PC builder argues that Apple’s complaint should be tossed outright as Apple didn’t use proper procedures to register the copyright for Mac OS X. Without that copyright, the Mac maker is “prohibited from bringing action” against Psystar for DMCA violation claims and other copyright-related allegations.
