If I recall correctly it doesn't - it belonged to Sun (now Oracle) although I think the system it related to was long gone.

Apple just kinda started using it and probably just used the power of numbers to invalidate any claim Sun might have had. IBM being a much more bureaucratic outfit probably asked nicely and were told to go away - or asked for some huge sum.

And if IBM hadn't played internal politics and had listened to the user community i OS would not belong to Apple. Great marketing step that.
