Seagate Accuses Cornice of Patent Infringement

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the proprietary-platters dept.

dncsky1530 writes "Seagate's recently filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Cornice of Longmont, Colo. Now it is seeking an order from the U.S. International Trade Commission to exclude Cornice disk drives and any systems or products using or containing Cornice disc drives from entry into the United States. Seagate asserts that Cornice is infringing on seven of its U.S. patents that relate to several areas of disk drive technology."

    I think it's interesting that instead of Seagate competing with a quality 1" drive of their own (maybe they do, I just couldn't find one), they try to compete through litigation. Reminds me of somebody else I know.

    If the patent system was totally abolished, then few companies would bother to innovate.

    BULL. That is what corporate shills would have you think. Are you pleased to have been taken in by them? Ever heard of trade secrets? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

    Patents are EVIL and UNNATURAL. They go against the natural right to use the brain God gave you to create things. They are BRUTISH. I thought of that FIRST, NYAH NYAH. It makes no legal difference whether you copy my patented design, or think of it on your own, independently. Have you given any thought to how EVIL that is?
