Tying Claim Against Apple Dismissed

An antitrust counterclaim alleging that Apple unlawfully tied the use of its operating system to the purchase of it own hardware was dismissed by a Northern District of California court on the ground that the plaintiff, Psystar, had failed to adequately allege the relevant market.  Under Twombly, the court held, Psystar allegations were insufficient to support a claim that Apple computers and its operating system formed a separate antitrust market.
