While Apple Loses Copyright Claims against Virtual iPhone maker Corellium, the company may have violated the Copyright Act (DMCA)
It s being reported today that lost its copyright claims against Florida company Corellium that makes virtual iPhones used by security researchers to test for vulnerabilities to its system.
Patently Apple followed this legal battle between Apple vs. Corellium over three reports that you could review to get some background. The first report was posted in August 2019 titled Apple Files a Copyright Infringement Lawsuit against Virtualization Software Company Corellium; the second report was posted in December 2019 titled Apple Amends their Lawsuit against Corellium by adding a Claim of Unlawful Trafficking of their Copyrighted Works; and the third report was posted in May 2020 titled Apple Sued Corellium last Summer and the case is taking a Strange Twist involving Apple Photos that touch on National Security.

Back in August of last year Apple filed a lawsuit against the virtualization software company Corellium, arguing that the product infringed its copyright and later adding claims that Corellium's product violates the DMCA. While the DMCA claims will still need to be settled in court, a judge in Florida has tossed out Apple's copyright claims. To over simplify it, Corellium allows security researchers to spin up a virtualized ARM device (including iOS devices) in a browser and take a deep look under the hood to discover potential security bugs.

Apple accused Corellium of essentially replicating iOS to create “virtual” iOS-operated devices.
(Reuters) - A federal judge in Florida on Tuesday dismissed Apple Inc’s copyright infringement claims against a Florida startup whose software helps security researchers find vulnerabilities in Apple products including the iPhone.
U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith ruled in favor of Corellium LLC, saying its software emulating the iOS operating system that runs on the iPhone and iPad amounted to “fair use” because it was “transformative” and helped developers find security flaws.
