PsyStar hires top law firm


ComputerWorld reports that Mac clone maker PsyStar has hired the Palo Alto, CA legal firm of Carr & Ferrell to defend them against a lawsuit brought by Apple.

The mothership is suing the Florida-based company for multiple instances of violating copyright, trademark, breach-of-contract and unfair competition laws related to the clone maker's use of OS X.

Carr & Ferrell has been successful against Apple in the past, extracting a $10-million out of court settlement in 2006 for Burst.com, as well as $60-million from Microsoft over the same patents.

Editor's note: Call me a fanbois, but I don't see any upside to a PsyStar victory...
