"On November 6, 1997, the Presidents of the District Courts of Albi and
Avranches, France, authorized seizures, on the premises of Nomai in Avranches
and on the premises of a Nomai affiliate in Albi, of materials relating to
Nomai's stated intention to introduce a disk product compatible with the
Company's Jaz drives. These seizures were carried out on November 7, 1997. On
the premises of Nomai in Avranches, numerous documents, and a single nonworking
specimen or prototype Nomai cartridge labeled as being compatible with Iomega
Jaz drives, were seized. On November 12, 1997, the Company served a complaint on
Nomai in France alleging copyright, design, trademark and patent infringement,
parasitism and unfair competition, and seeking injunctive relief as well as
damages." |
