You do realize that patents help protect small companies, too, right?


Patents have nothing to do with this situation/case.

From the Mac world article: "Apple contends Psystar's owners are aware of the end-user license agreement... and that installing OS X on its Open Computer constitutes a breach of contract... Apple argues that the end result of unauthorized use of its software and intellectual property is damaging to its brand."

Apple does not claim that a patent has been violated, they claim breach of private contract and "damage to their brand."

Indirectly their license agreements rest on the patents held by apple.
