SanDisk to sue over patent infringement

SanDisk has filed patent infringements against 25 companies who manufacture, sell or distribute storage related devices like flash memory based MP3 players. LG Electronics is probably the most high profile defendant named in the lawsuit, filed in the US courts - the bigger players in the market seemingly escaping litigation this time round. The company's Chief IP Counsel E Earle Thompson told reporters: "Our goal is to resolve these matters by offering the defendants the opportunity to participate in our patent licensing program. Otherwise, we will aggressively pursue these actions".
