Apple, Psystar pursue dispute-resolution process
Published: 20 Oct 2008 09:17 BST
Apple and Psystar have agreed to pursue a mediated settlement to their legal dispute over the latter's Open Computers.
The Mac Observer turned up a court filing in the Apple-Psystar case from earlier this month, which noted that the two parties have agreed to participate in the alternative-dispute-resolution (ADR) process.
Apple sued Psystar earlier this year for copyright infringement after Psystar began selling low-cost Open Computers with Mac OS X preinstalled. Psystar then countersued Apple on antitrust grounds.
ADR is a way to bypass the costly legal process, as well as keep the outcome private.
The court filing from the US District Court of Northern California's website states that Apple and Psystar have agreed to three portions of the ADR process: non-binding arbitration, early neutral evaluation and mediation. The parties have agreed to hold their sessions by 31 January, 2009.
