Apple has a reputation within the business world as extremely litigation-happy.
Apple was founded in 1977 by co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in California, USA as a personal computer manufacturer. Following the Lisa series, Apple launched Macintosh (also known as Mac), which became a huge success.

Since 1991, Apple has collaborated with IBM, SOM, and other computer and household appliance providers to transform itself into a new/information media total system corporation. It has expanded into about 140 different countries around the world in various business areas including PC research development, computer production, and sales & marketing.
