Psystar Hires Experienced Lawyers to Face Apple

Instead of backing down and ceasing to sell their OS X bundled Open Computers, and recalling every one sold as part of Apple’s request, Psystar has hired three lawyers to represent the company, Colby Springer, Robert Yorio, and  Christine Watson. Both Yorio and Springer have experience defending another company in court against Apple with the Burst.com lawsuit, when they forced Apple to settle with $10 million out of court.

Apple charged Psystar with allegations of copyright and trademark infringement, as well as “breach-of-contract, unfair-competition, and violating the Mac OS X end-user license,” according to AppleInsider. This case could be an important one in the technology industry because it relates to the legal validity of user license agreements in court.

In this legal battle of David versus Goliath, it would seem that Apple has the upper hand as far as the facts go. Still, with the determination and resolve Psystar has shown thusfar, this contest could turn into a real struggle for the hardware giant.

A pair of attorneys representing Psystar in its legal bout with Apple are already familiar with the Mac maker, with whom they’ve clashed before and came out on top.
