Apple boekt succes in rechtszaak tegen ePower

Saint Steve heeft zijn eerste succes behaald in de rechtszaak tegen Daewoo en Future Power, producenten van de ePower iMac kloon. De eis dat de levering van de ePower gestaakt wordt, werd door de rechter ingewilligd. The Register heeft de info:

Apple has been granted an injunction against Future Power and Daewoo preventing the companies' making, distributing or selling their ePower PC in the US.

The Mac maker set its lawyers on the companies back in August when it alleged the ePower's design is a rip-off of Apple's own iMac.

The ban follows Apple's request for a preliminary injunction against Daewoo and Future Power made at a hearing on 25 October. Now the case will move on to whether the ePower does in fact violate Apple's intellectual property rights and if so, whether Daewoo and Future Power should pay damages.
