In true Lexar Media form a press release is filed in the cover of darkness. SanDisk legal will wake up not knowing what has transpired. Jesse, remember that... SanDisk risked the entire future of the company on developing the CompactFlash standard. Reimer knows this. He is an ex-SanDisk employee. To claim now that he started Lexar not knowing this fact is just a bit far-fetched. Unfair competition is also an interesting concept. Let's not forget there are viable alternatives to CompactFlash including floppies, SmartMedia, microdrive, Clik!, Memory Stick, DataPlay... Lexar sells both SmartMedia and Memory Stick. Is someone holding a gun to their head and telling them to manufacture CompactFlash as well? Excuse my confusion here, but the unfair competition argument just seems ludicrous. This seems to be an eleventh hour strategy that Lexar is employing. Also, look at how illiquid LEXR has been of late. I suspect there are LEXR shareholders that got into this company not knowing the full patent infringement story. I finding the timing of this latest court motion suspect. When does the trading restriction for insiders expire? I cannot wait to see SanDisk's reply. Ausdauer
