Re: Nomai Follow-Up
I snipped the following old news from this recent c/net article:
news.com
__________
The French company has started the nurturing process, however, by building up its distribution through a legal settlement with SyQuest. Nomai had been charged with patent, copyright, and trademark infringement. The dispute was settled last October, clearing the way for the company to build up its brand in the United States.
Under the terms of the settlement, Nomai was granted a royalty-bearing license to produce 3-inch and 5-inch replacement cartridges for SyQuest removable disk drives. The companies also entered a cross-licensing arrangement, and Nomai will begin to sell SyQuest products on a private-label basis.
Before the settlement, however, Syquest was forced to restructure its pricing so that it could make some revenue on the drives in addition to the profits it was making on cartridges. New competition in the profit-bearing part of the company's revenues cut into earnings--a fate that soon may befall Iomega, whose pricing structure is very similar to Syquest's before the settlement.

Does anyone happen to know if Nomai will be making SparQ disks? and how many disks are they currently selling for Syquest products?
