Apple has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Media Solutions Holdings, a company which sells knockoff Apple products, reports InformationWeek.
Media Solutions Holdings sells "various consumer electronic accessories at retail, including knock-off power adapters for use with genuine Apple portable computers." through www.laptopsforless.com, www.laptopacadapter.com and www.ereplacements.com.
"Through various Web sites and otherwise, the Defendants market these knock-off power adapters for use with Apple portable computers, such as the MacBook," the complaint states.
Apple claims that some of the power adapters sold through these Web sites violate its "Power adapter" patent, issued in August, 2003.

Maybe if apple lowered the prices of there adapters they wouldn't have to worry about these guys. I just had mine replaced at a cost of about $130!
WTF APPLE...
I would have gone with a nockoff, but when my laptop explodes I want to put all the blame on them lol
