Apple Computer is the target of another class-action lawsuit claming the computer hardware and software manufacturer put the interests of it’s own ‘Apple Store’ Retail outlets ahead of resellers. They are also accusing Apple of using trade secrets and pricing under-cuts to damage sales and drive Apple resellers out of business.
“Apple, which recently filed suit against three online journalists it claimed had leaked Apple’s secrets, now finds itself on the receiving end of such a suit, with the resellers claiming the company has been using confidential reseller information in order to boost sales at Apple’s own stores and cut the resellers out.
The resellers also claim that Apple ensured its own stores’ shelves were stocked more plentifully and ahead of resellers’.”
