Pursuant to this Court's July 21, 2008 Order, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Civil Local Rule 16-9, Plaintiff and Counterdefendant Apple Inc. ("Apple") and Defendant and Counterclaimant Psystar Corporation ("Psystar") (collectively referred to herein as "the Parties") jointly submit this Case Management Statement and Proposed Order and request the Court adopt the portions it deems appropriate as the Case Management Order in this matter. JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT 1. Jurisdiction and Service: The Parties agree that this Court has both personal and
subject matter jurisdiction in this case and that San Francisco is a proper venue. This Court has federal question jurisdiction, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332 and 1338, over Apple's Copyright and Lanham Act claims and Psystar's Sherman and Clayton Act claims. Apple's remaining claims and Psystar's remaining counterclaims form part of the same case or controversy as Apple and Psystar's other asserted claims. Consequently, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367, this Court has supplemental subject matter jurisdiction over those claims and counterclaims as well. All parties to this lawsuit have been served. Apple served its Complaint on Psystar on July 8, 2008. In turn, Psystar filed and served its Answer and Counterclaims on Apple on August 28, 2008. 2. Facts: The Parties have set forth their separate statement of facts below followed by a
joint list of factual issues in dispute in this case. Apple's Statement: Apple is one of the most innovative companies in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer products and services. Apple's products include the Macintosh® line of desktop and portable computers, famous for their reliability, ease-of-use and innovative industrial design. Apple's most recent operating system for its Macintosh computers -- Mac OS X -- was launched in 2001. Mac OS X is known as Leopard® and has obtained rave reviews as being "visually stunning" and "powerful, polished and carefully conceived." Apple licenses the use of Mac OS X software and the intellectual property associated with it through its Software License Agreement for Mac OS X (Exhibit 1 to Complaint). The Software License Agreement is a limited use license which allows the licensee to "install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time." The license further states that the licensee "agree[s]" not to install, use or run the Apple-Software on any non-Apple labeled computer or enable another to do

so...."1 Furthermore, the license agreement states that it will automatically terminate if the licensee "fail[s] to comply with any term(s) of [the] License." Apple also manufactures and sells the Xserve® rack-mount server for use in businesses needing to connect multiple computers to a single server. Xserve uses Mac OS X Leopard Server as its operating system software and is licensed to users under the terms of the Software License Agreement for Mac OS X Server (Exhibit 2 to Complaint).2 Like Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS X Server has been the subject of much media coverage. In violation of Apple's copyright and trademark rights and the terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement, Psystar began online sales of a computer named OpenMac, in April 2008. OpenMac runs a modified, unauthorized version of Leopard on non-Apple-labeled hardware. Subsequent to its initial launch, Psystar renamed the OpenMac as the Open Computer and also sells a more advanced version of the computer known as the OpenPro. Like the Open Computer, the OpenPro also runs a modified, unauthorized version of Leopard on non-Apple-labeled hardware. Psystar has also offered, without Apple's permission and consent, downloads of Mac OS X Leopard software updates. According to Psystar's Chief Executive Officer, Psystar has sold thousands of these computers. In addition to its OpenMac/Open Computer and OpenPro computers, Psystar also began selling rack-mount servers called OpenServ 1100 and OpenServ 2400 in June 2008 which utilize modified, unauthorized versions of Mac OS X Leopard Server software. In selling the Open Computer, OpenPro, OpenServ 1100 and OpenServ 2400 (hereinafter the "Psystar Products") with Apple's proprietary Mac OS X software, Psystar is breaching and inducing breach of Apple's Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS X Leopard Server Software License Agreements. In order to run Mac OS X on Psystar Products, Psystar has modified and/or copied Apple's proprietary software and is directly and contributorily infringing Apple's copyrights in its Mac OS X Leopard and
Apple Software is defined within the Software License agreement as the "software (including Boot ROM Code) ... accompanying this License whether preinstalled on Apple-labeled hardware, on disk, in read only memory, or any other media or in any other form ...." 2 The Software License Agreement for Mac OS X Server contains the same key terms found in the Mac OS X license discussed above.

Mac OS X Leopard Server software. Psystar is also infringing Apple's registered, unregistered and common law trademarks and non-functional trade dress. Psystar's actions violate both state and common law unfair competition laws. In its counterclaims, Psystar contends that Apple is violating federal and state antitrust laws by not permitting the use of its software on non-Apple-labeled hardware. However, as detailed in Apple's motion to dismiss, contrary to the plethora of legal authority and marketplace realities, Psystar has improperly alleged that Apple is monopolizing a single product market -- the alleged Mac computer market. No such market exists. Moreover, Apple denies the existence of the other alleged markets pled by Psystar and further denies having market power in those alleged markets. Contrary to Psystar's contentions, Apple is well within its rights to choose not to license its proprietary software to its competitors and its decision to do so does not constitute anticompetitive behavior. Psystar's Statement: Psystar manufactures and distributes computers capable of supporting a wide range of operating systems. Psystar computers run the Mac OS X like an Apple Macintosh only on a computer hardware system offered at a considerably lower price and with considerably higher performance. Apple seeks to prohibit Psystar's offerings through the Apple EULA and claims of infringement of Apple intellectual property. Psystar contends that Apple's conduct is anticompetitive and violates state and federal antitrust law. Psystar alleges that there are two relevant product markets: the Mac OS and Mac OS Capable Computer Hardware Systems--computer hardware capable of executing the Mac OS. Within the Mac OS Capable Computer Hardware Systems market is a subsidiary market created, dominated, and maintained by Apple--the Apple-Labeled Computer Hardware Systems. Apple is the exclusive manufacturer and/or licensor of the Mac OS. Apple possesses monopoly power in the Mac OS market, which is distinct, unique, and not reasonably interchangeable with respect to any other operating systems. Apple promotes this distinctness, uniqueness, and lack of interchangeability. Market pricing and consumer behavior affirms this promotion. In the broader computer hardware system marketplace, manufacturers construct entire computers that are marketed and sold to the consumer. A number of companies dedicated to sourcing various components used by these manufacturers also exist. But for the exclusionary conduct of

Apple, there is no compelling reason (technological or otherwise) that any of these computer hardware system manufacturers could not manufacture and sell computer hardware systems capable of hosting, executing, and running the Mac OS. These manufacturers constitute the Mac OS Capable Computer Hardware Systems market. Apple is the only manufacturer of hardware systems operating the Mac OS--Apple-Labeled Computer Hardware Systems. Because of Apple's anticompetitive conduct, Apple has created a subsidiary market within the Mac OS Capable Computer Hardware Systems market--the AppleLabeled Computer Hardware Systems market. Of this market, Apple is the only member and wields monopoly power. Inelastic demand exists with respect to the Mac OS. A small but significant non-transitory increase in price will not result in a change in demand for the Mac OS. Apple has, in fact, stated that its customers would "rather delay [a more expensive Apple-Labeled Computer Hardware System] purchase than switch [to a different product]." In order to protect its monopoly power in the Mac OS and Apple-Labeled Computer Hardware Systems market, Apple (through the EULA) has tied the Mac OS to Apple-Labeled Hardware Systems. The same EULA precludes customers or would be competitors from installing the Mac OS on any computer hardware system that is not an Apple-Labeled Computer Hardware System. Apple has also caused the Mac OS to malfunction upon recognizing computer hardware that is not an AppleLabeled Computer Hardware System. Apple has also misused its copyrights to establish and maintain rights not otherwise reserved or intended under the Copyright Act. Competition in the Mac OS Capable Computer Hardware System market is all but non-existent as a result of Apple's illicit tying of the Mac OS to Apple-Labeled Computer Hardware Systems. Apple has successfully eliminated competition and continues to ensure that no competition arises in the Mac OS Capable Computer Hardware System market with respect to the Mac OS and AppleLabeled Computer Hardware Systems. Apple is, therefore, free to control and charge supracompetitive prices. Factual Issues in Dispute a. Whether Psystar has willfully reproduced, created derivative works from, distributed and/or

Psystar's Counterclaims, there have been no other motions to date. The Parties anticipate that they may file dispositive motions, depending on the evidence that is produced during the discovery process. 5. Amendment and Pleadings: The Parties have agreed to a deadline of January 19,
2009 to amend pleadings. 6. Evidence Preservation
Apple's Statement: At Apple, individual employees are tasked with maintenance of their own files including hard copy documents, emails, voicemails and other electronically recorded materials. Apple has not implemented any programs that result in the automatic deletion of emails. Similarly Apple does not determine which voicemails are saved or deleted by an individual recipient. However, the voicemail system is set up to delete saved messages after ninety days. At the institution of this lawsuit, Apple identified a group of employees who could potentially have documents relevant to the issues reasonably evident in this action. Apple then provided those individuals with a document retention notice which included a request for the retention of any relevant documents, including but not limited to emails, voicemails and other electronically-recorded materials relating to the issues in this lawsuit. As a result of the counterclaims asserted by Psystar, Apple has also sent out a follow-up

retention notice asking for the retention of documents reasonably relevant to the antitrust and unfair competition claims asserted by Psystar. Apple will be working with Psystar to narrow the list of individuals from whom documents will be retrieved for purposes of this lawsuit. Psystar's Statement. Counsel for Psystar has personally counseled the principals of Psystar as to the retention of documents and other information as they pertain to the issues in this lawsuit. A retention notice was subsequently issued to the principals of Psystar memorializing the same. Retention of documents includes but is not limited to electronic mail, physical documents and things, and other electronically-recorded materials. 7. Disclosures: The Parties have agreed to provide each other with initial disclosures on
November 30, 2008. 8. Discovery: The Parties have met and conferred pursuant to Rule 26(f) regarding
discovery issues and have agreed to the following: (a) The Parties expect to stipulate to a protective order which will be submitted to the Court. (b) Privilege logs in this case need only include the following information: (i) the identity of the author(s) and recipient(s) of a document; (ii) the date of the document; (iii) a description of the document sufficient to establish privilege; and (iv) the specific privilege that is being asserted. (c) Neither party will request or be required to produce responsive voicemails and/or instant messages. (d) The number of depositions which can be taken by each party in this case will be increased from the ten permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to fifteen. The parties agree that these fifteen depositions per side will include third party depositions but exclude expert depositions. (e) The number of interrogatories per party will be limited to twenty-five as discussed in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties agree, however, that each party can propound one interrogatory asking for the factual basis for all affirmative defenses, including identification of knowledgeable witnesses and supporting documents, and that this interrogatory will only count as one of the twenty-five permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure despite its compound nature. 9. 10.

before another judge of this Court or before another court or administrative body. 11. Relief
Apple's Statement. Apple seeks both damages and injunctive relief in this case. Based on its copyright infringement claims, Apple will seek either actual damages it has suffered and/or any profits gained by Psystar as a result of Psystar's willful direct and/or contributory infringement of Apple's copyrighted works or the maximum statutory damages permitted by law. See 17 U.S.C. §§ 504(b)-(c). Apple will further seek its attorneys' fees under 17 U.S.C. § 505. Based on its trademark and trade dress claims, Apple will also seek the greater of (1) treble its actual damages or (2) Psystar's profits from the sale of the Psystar Products with Mac OS X. This being an exceptional case, Apple will also seek costs and attorneys' fees. Alternatively, Apple will seek the maximum statutory damages allowed under §1117(c). See 15 U.S.C. § 1117. Moreover, upon proving its copyright, trademark and/or unfair competition claims, Apple will seek injunctive relief. See 15 U.S.C. § 1116; 17 U.S.C. § 502 and Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17203. Apple will also seek damages for Psystar's breach and induced breach of Apple's license agreements. Given that discovery is just beginning, Apple is unable to compute damages at this time. Psystar's Statement. Psystar seeks actual damages, costs, fees, and declaratory relief in this case. Actual damages and trebling are permitted under 15 U.S.C §§ 1, 2, 14, and 15(a), the latter-most section also allowing for recovery of costs and attorneys' fees. Psystar seeks similar relief under its Cartwright Act, unfair competition, and common law claims. Psystar also seeks declaratory relief as to a finding that Apple's EULA and other business practices constitute an unlawful restraint on trade thereby invalidating all or a part of said EULA. 12. Settlement and ADR: On October 2, 2008, the Parties filed their stipulation agreeing
to private mediation before a mutually agreed upon mediator from JAMS in San Francisco. 13. Declination of Magistrate Judge: The Parties have declined to have a Magistrate
Judge preside over this case. 14. Other References: The Parties do not believe the case is suitable for reference to
binding arbitration, a special master, or to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. 15. Narrowing of Issues: There is currently a motion to dismiss Psystar's antitrust and

unfair competition claims pending before the Court, which Apple believes will narrow some of the disputed issues in this case. Psystar has opposed said motion, which is currently calendared for hearing on November 6 concurrent with the Parties initial Case Management Conference. Otherwise, the Parties do not believe that the issues in dispute in this case can be narrowed at this time. 16. Expedited Schedule: The Parties do not believe that this type of case can be handled
