As reported in my article earlier this morning, misunderstandings abound with regards to the agreement of Apple and Psystar to engage in alternative dispute resolution. For example, TechSpot reports in an article entitled “Apple and Psystar to settle out of court”:

By involving themselves in an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, basically the companies have agreed to meet and work out a resolution in lieu of going through a costly legal process.

This is simply incorrect. Neither party has agreed to settle out of Court or waive their right to a trial.
