Microdrive Maker Seagate Files Patent Suit Against Rival Cornice

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on June 25, 2004 - 7:35am.

Scotts Valley, Calif. -- Seagate Technology, a manufacturer of hard disk drives, announced this week that it has filed a patent infringement suit against Colorado-based rival Cornice, which makes the microdrives used in digital music players from firms including Rio and iRiver. Earlier this month, Scotts Valley, Calif.-based Seagate released the first of its own 1-inch, 5GB microdrives designed for consumer electronics. "We cannot allow the competitive advantage we've established through our long-term investment in R&D to be unfairly attacked by those who would illegally infringe on our technology portfolio and intellectual property," said Seagate president Bill Watkins. Seagate is seeking monetary damages and a permanent injunction that bars Cornice from making, using, importing, offering to sell, or selling the allegedly infringing products in the United States.
