Apple sleept iMac look-a-like voor de rechter

Apple blijkt niet erg ingetogen te zijn met het idee van Future Power om een sterk op de iMac lijkende pc box te bouwen. Laten wij kijken naar onderstaand plaatje:

Tja, Bill zou het gejat kunnen hebben... Apple gaat nu een rechtszaak aanspannen tegen Future Power, zo bericht ZDNet:

Apple Computer Corp. has filed suit against the makers of an iMac look-alike, asking that they be prohibited from distributing the system.

The suit, filed in federal court against Future Power and Daewoo Telecom, complains that the E-Power systems, which are Intel-based, "illegally copy Apple's designs."

"There is a universe of original designs that Future Power and Daewoo could have created for their computers, but instead they chose to copy Apple's designs," Steve Jobs, Apple's interim CEO said in a release. "We've invested a lot of money and effort to create and market our award-winning designs, and we intend to vigorously protect them under the law."
