Guys, I was looking thru the old press releases on the Sandisk site and found this interesting tidbit. I'm sure most of you have already read this but here goes anyway:

"On February 26, 1997 an Administrative Law Judge of the International Trade Commission (ITC) issued an initial determination which found that Samsung Corporation infringes claim 27 of the '338 patent in all its Nand flash memory products, including the Samsung 4Mbit, 16Mbit, 32Mbit and 64Mbit Nand chips and memory cards built with same."

This was released right before Samsung and Toshiba signed cross-licensing agreements with Sandisk.

Take note that it says "all its Nand flash memory products". We all know that SmartMedia is based on NAND gates so doesn't this mean that Sandisk is definitely getting royalties for SmartMedia sales?
