Apple starts "Searchlight Program" to stop unauthorized sales

Apple has started a Searchlight Program "to step up efforts to curtail the sale of Apple products by unauthorized resellers. The program is designed to encourage authorized resellers to provide Apple with information about unauthorized sales. The program will also put unauthorized resellers on notice that Apple may take legal action against any party that infringes on Apple's copyright or trademark rights, and against any unauthorized reseller who induces authorized resellers to breach their contracts by selling to them."

Meanwhile, AppleCare extended service options are now available to authorized Apple resellers.
