Psystar was dealt a setback last week when a judge denied its appeal and upheld a permanent injunction that prevents the Mac clone maker from selling PC hardware with Mac OS X installed. Undeterred, Psystar’s legal team has vowed to take the fight to the Supreme Court, if needed. “This is far from over,” said K.A.D. Camera of Camera & Sibley LLP, the firm that is representing Psystar in this case.
Psystar may be willing to push forward, but its attempt may be in vain. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld a 2009 lower court decision that permanently banned Psystar from selling its Mac clones. It is highly unlikely this copyright infringement case will find its way to the Supreme Court. Psystar has not sold a Mac clone since December 2009 and may have to face the reality that it won’t sell another one again.
